c7.s3.t9.1

1. *Karṇa*, ear. The organ denoted by this term is included among the bones in the systems of Suśruta (§ 27) and Vāgbhaṭa I (§ 37). The system of Ātreya, in all three presentations, by Charaka (§ 4), Bheḍa (§ 12), and the Non-medical Version (§§ 16, 22), does not include it, probably for the same reason as caused the exclusion of the eyeballs (§ 70).
