53 A male with hypospadia (Gulabkunverba; R.K. Sharma and Bhagwan Dash); a man with a curved member (P.V. Sharma; Yogindranātha). Kaviratna agrees with Gaṅgādhara in considering a vakrin to be the same as āsekya; he remarks that some regard a vakrin as identical with Suśruta's kumbhīka. However, the meaning of vakra is not clear at all in this context; Cakra says that the sperm of a vakrin does not reach the uterus.
