The eighth kind of fever which proceeds from external causes (*āgantujvara*) can arise not only out of wounds and hurts of every kind but is also caused by strong excitation, particularly love, grief, fear or anger, possession, enchantment or malediction, the smell of poisonous plants or flowers, swoon, headache, trembling, vomiting, sneezing and other causes. It is also caused by poisoning, the symptoms of which consist of swoon, diarrhoea, black colour of mouth, heat and palpitation of heart etc. (*Car* 6.3.109-126; *AS* 3.2.263; *AHr* 3.2.38-45; *Bhav* 2.1.103-6; *MN* 40 f. ).
