c7.s3.t2.1

1. Kaṇṭhanāḍī, lit. throat-pipe, or jatru, windpipe. The former term is peculiar to the list of Suśruta (§ 27), the latter is employed in the list of Atreya-Charaka (§ 4). In the list of Vāgbhaṭa I both terms occur, though they denote the same organ, this being (as explained in § 38, cl. 4) one of its conspicuous incongruities.
