180 Blood corrupted by vāta constitutes one of these contra-indications; in such a case, a condition known as paripuṭana (*Bhishagratna*: bursting of the wound; Singhal, following Apte's Dictionary: loss of skin) may arise. Dalhaṇa is unsure about the meaning of paripuṭana, regarding it as meaning either uccaṭana (disappearance, removal) or the disease karṇalaṭikā. Compare the terms paripoṭa (As.U.21.23–24a; *Mādhavanidāna* 57.16), paripoṭaka (Su.Ci.25.3), and paripoṭana (Su.Ni.1.25).
