c12.49
Lithuresis (śarkarā) is caused if the vāta dissipates a stone in small pieces or particles. If the vātadoṣa is favourable, the gravel goes out with the urine. If it is unfavourable it is retained. If the stone is connected with sand (sikatā) and gravel, the navel and the testicles are swollen, no urine passes, and the patient suffers from severe pain, the stone-disease kills him quickly (MN 221. Cf. Car l.c. 34 f.; Su l.c.8 ff.; AS l.c.; AHr 3.9.18 f.).
