883 Injury to the penis, also called dhvajabhaṅga (Ca.Ci.30.162, 175, 176, 188), is not only of traumatic origin, but may also be caused by a faulty diet, diseases, etc. (Ca.Ci.30.163–165). Some consider it to be of five kinds (Ca.Ci.30.176ab): brought about by vāta, pitta, kapha, blood and saṃnipāta (Cakra ad Ca.Ci.30.176ab). See R. Desāī (1982: 533) on the differences between dhvajabhaṅga and klaibya.
