373 A śiroroga (Ca.Sū.17.14). Repeatedly mentioned (Ca.Sū.11.49; 14.21; 26.43). Ardita is described as a vāta disease (Ca.Ci.28.72cd-74). 374 Cakra stresses that vāta is the main doṣa in this disorder, the other two being subsidiary (anubandha). Described as a vāta disease (Ca.Ci.28.35 and 53cd-55). Also called ekāṅghāta (Ca.Sū.14.21). 375 Described as a vāta disease (Ca.Ci.28.35 and 53cd-55). Also called sarvāṅghāta (Ca. Sū.14.21). 376 Also mentioned at Ca.Sū.11.49 and 26.43. Described at Ca.Ci.28.53cd-54. The synonym pakṣaghāta is found at Ca.Sū.14.21 and Ci.28.73. 377 Described as a vāta disease (Ca.Ci.28.50cd-51ab). 378 Described as a vāta disease (Ca.Ci.28.51cd-52ab). Also mentioned at Ca.Vi.8.42. Tonic convulsions (Gulabkunverba; R.K. Sharma and Bhagwan Dash); tetanic convulsions (P.V. Sharma). 379 Absent from Kaviratna's list, which has śrama instead. The term tamas is used for the impression that everything goes black before one's eyes, i.e., the onset of fainting. Tamas is described as caused by corruption of the rasa at Ca.Sū.28.9-11a; tamodarśana is a symptom of corruption of the bone-marrow (Ca.Sū.28.17). Tamapraveśa is caused by pitta (Ca. Sū.20.14). 380 Interpreted as giddiness by the Gulabkunverba team, R.K. Sharma and Bhagwan Dash, and P.V. Sharma. Cakra regards it as loss of memory (smṛtimoha); he specifies that bhrama caused by vāta is meant, which is not superfluous, because bhrama is also brought about by pitta (Ca.Sū.17.23 and 57-58; Ca.Ni.1.24; Dalhaṇa ad Su.U.42.11; Hārita III.7.22). Bhrama appears when the bone marrow is affected by the doṣas (Ca.Sū.28.17). 381 Also mentioned at Ca.Sū.14.23; 17.31. Its synonym is vepana (Ca.Sū.17.58: brought about by vāta and pitta; Ca.Ci.24.102: a local tremor according to Cakra; 27.19). 382 Jṛmbha, jṛmbhā, jṛmbhana are often mentioned as a symptom caused by vāta; see, for example, Ca.Ni.1.21. It is also ascribed to kapha (Ca.Sū.17.97ab). The characteristics of jṛmbhā are described in the Suśrutasaṃhitā (Sā.4.50) and Bhāvaprakāśa (cikitsā 24.20). 383 The chapters on hikkā and śvāsa (see Ca.Ci.17.8 and 17) mention vāta and kapha as the two doṣas causing hikkā. The list of the A.S. (Sū.20.9) has glāni instead of hikkā. 384 Asthenia (Gulabkunverba; R.K. Sharma and Bhagwan Dash); malaise (P.V. Sharma); cheerlessness of mind (Kaviratna). Viṣāda is a symptom caused by vāta (Ca.Ni.1.21). 385 Hyperphasia (Gulabkunverba); delirium (R.K. Sharma and Bhagwan Dash); excessive delirium (P.V. Sharma); violent delirium (Kaviratna). Pralāpa is defined in the Bhāvaprakāśa (cikitsā 24.51). It is a symptom of excited vāta (Ca.Ni.1.21). 386 See Ca.Sū.20.12. Kaviratna inserts glāni before raukṣya. 387 See Ca.Sū.20.12. 388 The colour aruṇa belongs to vāta (Sū.20.12); śyāva is also associated with vāta (Madhukośa ad Mādhavanidāna 57.17-18ab). 389 Cf. Ca.Sū.21.55-57. Mentioned as a symptom (Ci.28.21: anidratā). 390 Instability (anavasthitatva) belongs to vāta (Ca.Sū.20.12). 391 Cakra includes the whole list in the vāta diseases (see his remarks ad Ca.Ci.28.58ab, where Ca.Sū.20 is probably referred to). 392 See Cakra ad Sū.20.11. 393 Examples are the Bhāvaprakāśa (cikitsā 24.4-16; this list differs considerably), Kāśyapasamhitā (Sū.27.20-30), Śārṅgadharasamhitā (I.7.105-115ab; this list differs from Ca.Sū.20.11).
