Zimmer³ identifies the disease in the Atharvaveda with Hṛdayāmaya, ‘consumption caused by love.’ In the Rigveda this is not at all likely: later in the medical Saṃhitās the word probably denotes angina pectoris.⁴ - [Previous: v2.c4.s10.169](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s10.169) - [Next: v2.c4.s10.171](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s10.171) - [Up: v2.c4.s10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s10.170](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s10.170) · Pramāṇa
