185 Cf. Ca.Ni.5.6; Bhela Ci.6.1–10; Su.Ni.5.3. Kuṣṭha is often regarded as the effect of sins committed in a former existence; the Padmapurāṇa (5.48.40–69; see N.A. Deshpande, 1990: 1844–1845), for example, mentions raktakuṣṭha as caused by sexual intercourse with one’s daughter, pitakuṣṭha as caused by intercourse with one’s sister, and gulmakuṣṭha as caused by intercourse with one’s sister-in-law (see J. Gonda, 1935: 92); these types of kuṣṭha are not known from medical literature.
