v2.c30.329

149 Cakra refers to conflicting interpretations; either five types of gulma, the rakta-ja included, are meant, or the four doṣic types; he prefers the first interpretation, which implies that the region of the two pārśvas comprises the uterus (garbhāśaya) too (this view is only valid if pārśva is synonymous with kukṣi in this case). Seats of gulma mentioned in the verses on treatment are also: jaṭhara (5.24), pakvāśaya (5.24 and 34).
