The derivative adjective, Pāmana, ‘suffering from skin disease,’ is found in the later Saṃhitās and the Brāhmaṇas.² Since it is mentioned as an accompaniment of fever, probably a cutaneous eruption or scab consequent on fever is meant. - [Previous: v1.c3.s21.771](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.771) - [Next: v1.c3.s21.773](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.773) - [Up: v1.c3.s21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21) ## Linked texts (1) - [Atharvavedasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.atharva.5.22.12) — Atharvan & Aṅgiras, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.772](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.772) · Pramāṇa
