v1.c20.s3.39

Cakrapāṇi declares that Ci.10.54cd–63, acceptable to the Saindhavas and Kāśmīras, are unauthoritative according to the ancient authorities. Jejjata’s comments are not available. The verses describe the aetiology, symptoms and treatment of a curious disease, called atattvābhiniveśa, referred to in the Sūtrasthāna (19.4). The stanzas are out of place in the chapter on the treatment of apasmāra. The disorder is not described elsewhere in the Carakasaṃhitā. 541
