Sen Gupta, 1976: 97). A deity like the Roman goddess Febris (see P.E. Burke, 1996: 2266–2271; W.A. Jayne, 1925: 462–463; G. Wissowa, 1909) is unknown in India. 91 Compare Su.U.39.10 and 13cd–14ab. 92 Compare Ca.Ni.1.33, which has a much longer list. 93 Compare Ca.Ci.3.32, which distinguishes bodily and mental fevers; see Cakra's comments on the apparent contradiction; see also Ca.Ci.3.36–37ab and Cakra's explanations. 94 See Ca.Ni.1.24 and 27. 95 Compare Ca.Ni.1.32. 96 See P.V. Sharma (1994): 58–59. 97 This appears to be the description of the āgneya and saumya types of fever, though Cakra (ad Ca.Ci.3.32) defined them as caused by heat, respectively cold. 98 Compare Suśruta's gambhīra type (U.39.92cd–93ab). 99 Jejjaṭa mentions that some read these verses. He does not comment on them. 100 See Cakra's comments and the various interpretations he refers to. See also P.V. Sharma (1994): 62–64. Compare Ca.Sū.6 on ṛtucaryā. 101 See the comments of Jejjaṭa and Cakra. Compare P.V. Sharma (1994): 66. Cf. Su.U. 39.45cd–46ab. 102 Compare Suśruta's incurable type of gambhīra fever (U.39.93cd–94ab).
