446 Cf. Su.U.50.8 (prodromes of hikkā) and 51.6 (prodromes of śvāsa). 447 Cf. Su.U.50.14. 448 Cf. Su.U.50.12cd–13. 449 Cf. Su.U.50.10cd–11ab. 450 Cf. Su.U.50.11cd–12ab. 451 Cf. Su.U.50.9–10ab. 452 Cf. Su.U.50.15. See also Ca.Ci.17.26 and 30. 453 A variety of kṣudrā and annajā hikkā according to Cakra. The Suśrutasamhitā describes yamalā hikkā as a distinct type and omits vyapetā. The Madhukośa (ad Mādhavanidāna 12.4) regards Suśruta's yamalā as identical with Caraka's vyapetā hikkā. 454 Cf. Su.U.50.15. 455 See on the history of lung diseases: H. Vierordt (1903a). 456 Cf. Su.U.51.12. 457 Cf. Su.U.51.13. 458 Cf. Su.U.51.11. Gulabkunverba: Cheyne-Stokes respiration; this type of respiration was described for the first time by the Irish physicians John Cheyne (1818) and William Stokes (1854) in patients suffering from heart failure. The Hippocratic Corpus contains a description of Cheyne-Stokes respiration that is concise and beyond doubt (see M.D. Grmek, 1991: 302). 459 Cf. Su.U.51.8–10ab. Gulabkunverba, P.V. Sharma, and many other Indian authors: asthma bronchiale. Some regard tropical eosinophilia as related to tamaka (see B. Ramakrishna Shetty et al., 1983). See on tamaka: T. Gurunatham et al. (1967). See on the treatment of tropical pulmonary eosinophilia: B.P. Shaw and B. Bera (1985). See on tropical eosinophilia: Ph.H. Manson-Bahr (1966): 994–997. The identification of tamaka as asthma bronchiale is problematic, because the varieties of śvāsa may cover a number of different disorders presenting respiratory problems. See on asthma in Graeco-Roman medicine: E.D. Baumann (1934). See on the history of asthma: R.H. Major (1953); E. Stolkind (1933). 460 Cf. Su.U.51.10cd. 461 Regarded as varieties of one disease by Cakra. Some regard samtamaka as a complication (upasarga) of pratamaka according to Jejjata (see the Madhukośa ad Mādhavanidāna 12.35–36). The Gulabkunverba team interprets samtamaka as asthma cardiale. 462 Cf. Su.U.51.7. 463 An animal called jāṇḍaka (variant: jāhaka) is mentioned at 17.118. The jāhaka is mentioned at A.h.Sū.6.48cd and A.S.U.6.72. Cakra describes the jāṇḍaka as an animal living in arid regions (marudeśa), capable to roll itself up (pṛṣṭhamātre samkocam upayāti). Dalhaṇa adds the jāhaka to the bileśaya animals (ad Su.Sū.46.78). Aruṇa says that it is a babhru, or, according to others, a nakula. Idu does not identify it. An animal called jāhakā is mentioned in Vedic literature (see A.A. Macdonell and A.B. Keith, 1967; M. Mayrhofer, 1956). 464 See on the treatment of śvāsa: Bhagwan Dash and B.B. Gaitonde (1961). See on the treatment of tamaka, often identified as bronchial asthma: R. Batra (1991); G.N. Chaturvedi and B.D. Sharma (1975); G.N. Chaturvedi, S.K. Tiwari and S.P. Sen (1976); K.V. Gore, A. Krishna Rao and M.N. Guruswamy (1980); H.R. Goyal, B.N. Sannd and Keerti Sharma (1977); H.R. Goyal and Keerti Sharma (1977); S. Gupta et al. (1979); P.S.R.K. Haranath and S.
