A History of Indian Medical Literature v1.c9.3

v1.c9.3

Reference is made to the eight diseases which will be discussed in the Nidānasthāna. These diseases arose from lobha (greed), abhidroha (malice) and kopa (anger).¹⁴ Their treatment will also be described, but only summarily, because this subject will be dealt with in extenso in the Cikitsāsthāna (1.15).
