Gayadāsa (ad Su.Ni.6.15–19) remarks that Suśruta described nine types; he does not accept vinatā as belonging to the series, and refers as his authority to Bhoja, who distinguished nine types: śarāvikā, sarṣapikā, kūrmikā (= kacchapikā), jālinī, kulatthikā (= masūrī), alaṭī, putrī, vidārī, and vidradhī. 132 Cf. Ca.Sū.17.84–100; the type called vidradhi is elaborately described. 133 The *Carakasaṃhitā* regards the piḍakās as occurring in cases of neglected madhumeha (Sū. 17.78–82). Compare Gayadāsa ad Su.Ni.6.20ab. 134 Compare Ca.Sū.17.103 and 104–107 on the degrees of curability of vidradhi and the other piḍakās. 135 Madhumeha (diabetes mellitus and other forms of glycosuria) is one of the vāta types of prameha in the *Carakasaṃhitā*. 136 Mixed colours mentioned are śabala, babhru, kapila, kapota and mecaka (see Ḍalhaṇa's explanations). 137 The five colours are sita (white), asita (black), harita (green), pīta (yellow) and rakta (red). 138 Cf.
