Vātarakta is also interpreted as gout (the Tibetan equivalent of vātaśoṇita, dreg, has been interpreted as gout, but means more probably rheumatism; see R.E. Emmerick, 1984b: 100 and 1986a: 190) and as a particular form of leprosy (see: R. Chaussinand, 1955: 12; Dharmendra, 1947; R.E. Emmerick, 1986a: 190). The disease is also known as vātarakta, vātāsrj, etc. The disease called pabbavāta in Pali literature is by some interpreted as being identical with vātarakta (see Jyotir Mitra, 1985: 254).
