Ca.Sū.19.4; Ci.26.5–10. Interpreted as misperistalsis (Gulabkunverba; R.K. Sharma and Bhagwan Dash) and as an upward movement of vāyu (P.V. Sharma). 336 Khāñjatā is an action of vāta (Ca.Sū.20.12); khāñjya is a vāta disease (Ca.Ci.28.21). The Bhelasamhitā (Sū.16.6–7) also mentions khāñja. Cf. Su.Ni.1.78. 337 Mentioned as a vāta disease at Ca.Ci.28.21 and 72. 338 Not mentioned as a vāta disease in Ca.Ci.28. 339 Trika usually denotes the sacral region, but two trikas are known in Indian anatomy; the upper trika is the region between the shoulders. See on the meaning(s) of trika: Cakra ad Ca.Vi.8.117; Dalhaṇa ad Su.Śā.5.16; Aruṇadatta and Hemādri ad A.h.Sū.12.15; Kusumāvalī ad Siddhayoga 22.20. The translation of trikaragha by arthritis of the sacro-iliac joint (R.K. Sharma and Bhagwan Dash) is much too specific. Trikaroga is a symptom of vāta located in the rectum (Ca.Ci.28.27). Several types of graha are caused by vāta (Ca.Ci.14.11). 340 Mentioned as a symptom (Ca.Sū.17.101; Ci.28.21). Prṣṭharoga occurs when vāta affects the rectum (Ca.Ci.28.27). 341 Pleurodynia (Gulabkunverba); pain in the chest (R.K. Sharma and Bhagwan Dash). A feeling of compression in the sides of the chest (P.V. Sharma) is an adequate translation of this term. Compare amsāvamarda (Ca.Ni.5.6, 8, 14) and grīvāvamarda (Ca.I.11.15; Ci.28.47). The Kāśyapasamhitā (Sū.27.23) has pārśvaśūla instead of pārśvāvamarda. 342 Not occurring elsewhere in the Carakasamhitā. Girdle pain (Gulabkunverba); griping pain (R.K. Sharma and Bhagwan Dash); twisting pain (P.V. Sharma); a pain in the abdomen causing the sensation that it is pressed by a heavy substance wrapped all around on the outside (Kaviratna). Compare veṣṭana (Ca.Sū.17.31; 18.4) and udveṣṭana (Su.Ka.2.7; U.39.116 and 56.6). See Cakra's comments. 343 Not found elsewhere in the Carakasamhitā. Cardiac irregularity (Gulabkunverba); brachycardia (R.K. Sharma and Bhagwan Dash). Kaviratna reads unmāda. 344 This may be tachycardia (Gulabkunverba; R.K. Sharma and Bhagwan Dash; P.V. Sharma). Kaviratna renders the term as palpitation. See on this term: Aruṇadatta and Hemādri ad A.h.Sū.11.16cd; Śivadāsa ad A.h.U.36.52. Its synonym, hṛdayadrava, is found at Ca.Ci.14.11. 345 The meaning of this term is uncertain: emphysema (Gulabkunverba); rubbing pain in the chest (R.K. Sharma and Bhagwan Dash); shivering in the chest (P.V. Sharma). Kaviratna reads vakṣogharṣa, interpreted as a sensation of the chest being pressed from within. 346 The precise meaning is not clear: impairment of thoracic movement (Gulabkunverba; R.K. Sharma and Bhagwan Dash); constriction in the chest (P.V. Sharma); pain in the chest, including a sensation of heavy pressure on it from outside (Kaviratna). It is the same as jatruhuṇḍana, caused by vāta (Cakra ad Ca.Ci.28.22). 347 Toda is one of the actions of vāta (Ca.Sū.20.12). See on toda(na): Dalhaṇa ad Su.Sū.22.11; Hemādri ad A.h.Ni.2.13. 348 Śoṣa is caused by vāta (Ca.Sū.20.12; Ci.28.21). 349 Compare grīvāhuṇḍana (identical with grīvāstambha according to Cakra ad Ca.Ci.28.22). 350 Torticollis (Gulabkunverba; R.K. Sharma and Bhagwan Dash); wry neck (Kaviratna). Described as a vāta disease (Ca.Ci.28.43). See on manyā: Cakra ad Ca.I.3.6 and Si.9.84. 351 See Ca.Ni.6.4 on kaṇṭhoddhvamsa. 352 Dislocation of the jaw (Gulabkunverba); dislocation of the cheekbones (Kaviratna). 353 Hare-lip (Gulabkunverba); rupture of the lips (Kaviratna). - [Previous: v2.c29.166](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.meulenbeld-1999.v2.c29.166) - [Next: v2.c29.168](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.meulenbeld-1999.v2.c29.168) - [Up: v2.c29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.meulenbeld-1999.v2.c29) ## Cites (6) - [Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.vagbhata.astangahrdaya.755) — Vāgbhaṭa, Sanskrit - [Carakasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.caraka.1.17.31) — Agniveśa (Āyurveda) & Caraka, Sanskrit - [Suśrutasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.susruta-school.susruta.1.22.11) — Suśruta & Nāgārjuna (siddha/alchemist), Sanskrit - [Siddhayoga (Vṛndamādhava)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.sangraha.laghutrayi.siddhayoga.22.20) — Vṛnda, Sanskrit - [Kāśyapasaṃhitā (Vṛddhajīvakīyatantra)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.kaumara.kasyapa) — Mārīca Kaśyapa & Vātsya, Sanskrit - [Bheḷasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.atreya.bhela) — Bheḷa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.meulenbeld-1999.v2.c29.167](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.meulenbeld-1999.v2.c29.167) · Pramāṇa
