321 Arbuda is referred to at Ca.Sū.18.33 and 28.14, Ci.29.32 and 33. Granthi and arbuda do not differ from each other with regard to site (pradeśa), causative factor (hetu), shape (ākṛti), doṣa, and dūsya. Cf. Su.Ni.11.13–15ab, Ci.18.41–43ab. See on arbuda and its treatment: Donata et al. (1986); P. Tivārī (1990): 397–427. Arbuda is nowadays often regarded as one of the terms denoting cancer; see, e.g., Donata et al. (1986), G.C. Prasad, M. Sahu and P.J. Deshpande (1982).
