Suresh Babu (1993). See Cakra’s remarks on the differences between ardita and ardhāngavāta. Ardita is a nānātmaja vāta disorder at Ca.Sū.20.11. It differs from facial paresis in affecting one half of the body to a certain extent. See also P.V. Sharma (1994): 212. Cf. Su.Ni.1.68–72. 789 Gulabkunverba: spasticity of the neck. P.V. Sharma: stiffness of the carotid regions. Manyāstambha is one of the nānātmaja vāta disorders (Ca.Sū.20.11). Manyāstambha is regarded as one of the symptoms of antarāyāma in the Gulabkunverba translation. See the comments of Cakra, who appears to interpret manyāstambha and antarāyāma as one disease; he refers to other kinds of manyāstambha. Cf. Su.Ni.1.67. 790 Gulabkunverba and P.V. Sharma: emprosthotonus. Ābhyantarāyāma is one of the signs of vāta when lodged in the cords (snāyu) (Ca.Ci.28.35). Compare the two kinds of āyāma at Ca.Sū.19.4. Cf. Su.Ni.1.56. 791 Gulabkunverba and P.V. Sharma: opisthotonus. Bahirāyāma is one of the signs of vāta when lodged in the cords (snāyu) (Ca.Ci.28.35). Cf. Su.Ni.1.54ab (dhanuṣṭambha) and 57 (bāhyāyāma). Opisthotonus, the tonic contraction of all posterior muscles along the spine, is a symptom found in tetanus; the term is employed in the description of a case of tetanus in the seventh book of the Epidemics of the Hippocratic Collection (see M.D. Grmek, 1991: 351–352). 792 Cf. Su.Ni.1.53cd. 793 Ākṣepaka is one of the nānātmaja disorders of vāta (Ca.Sū.20.11). Ākṣepa is one of the general symptoms of a vāta disease (Ca.Ci.28.23). Cf. Su.Ni.1.50cd–51. 794 P.V. Sharma interprets it as plenosthotonus. Daṇḍaka is one of the nānātmaja disorders of vāta (Ca.Sū.20.11). 795 This syndrome is described without employing one of the usual terms; Cakra refers to it as pakṣavadha. The term pakṣavadha occurs at Ca.Sū.11.49 and 26.43; its synonym, pakṣaghāta, at Sū.14.21 and Ci.28.73. Pakṣavadha is one of the nānātmaja disorders of vāta (Ca. Sū.20.11). Cf. Su.Ni.1.60–62 (pakṣaghāta). 796 See on ekāṅgaroga: H.S. Kasture (1982a). 797 Both forms belong to the nānātmaja disorders of vāta (Ca.Sū.20.11). 798 Gṛdhrasī is one of the nānātmaja disorders of vāta (Ca.Sū.20.11). Cf. Su.Ni.1.74. 799 Also mentioned at Ca.Sū.14.23 and 28.21; Ci.28.35. 800 Āvaraṇa in the sense of obstruction is used in many medical and non-medical contexts.
