Indian Medicine (Medicin), translated by C. G. Kashikar c11.40

c11.40

(1) Cf. the remarks of Kielhorn and Oldenberg in Fasbender l. c.
(2) The conception based on this reference by Haser and other scholars, that the ancient Indian midwifery has taken the close pelvis of the mother as an obstruction to birth, is refuted by Fasbender, l. c., and rests only on a wrong translation by Vullers, and also by Wise. The term sanga is always used only in connection with the stagnation of a part of body of the child at the birth, and therefore cannot be taken to mean the hinder part or pelvis of the mother, as is also shown by Dallana.
