151 See on this chapter: H. Fasbender (1897): 48–52; R.F.G. Müller (1928): 253–254, 257–258; P. Tivārī (1989): 492–533; J.A. Vullers (1846): 241–249. 152 See P. Tivārī (1989): 500–513. 153 See the figure illustrating this position in P. Tivārī (1989): 521. 154 See the figure in P. Tivārī (1989): 523. 155 See the figure in P. Tivārī (1989): 522. 156 See the figure illustrating parigha in P. Tivārī (1989): 522. See on the four positions: P. Tivārī (1989): 514–517. Compare the classification of the Hārītasamhitā (see P. Tivārī, 1989: 517) into mūḍhagarbha due to vāta, pitta, kapha, a combination of two doṣas, and all three doṣas (III.52.14–16). 157 This fourfold classification was adopted by Bhoja, whose verses on the subject are quoted in the Madhukośa ad Mādhavanidāna 64.6; the same verses, but said to be from the Nāgārjunīya, are quoted by Gayadāsa (ad Su.Ni.8.4). Compare Mādhavanidāna 64.6, where the four types are described. 158 These types are called gati in the Suśrutasaṃhitā, saṃsthāna in the works ascribed to Vāgbhaṭa. 159 J.A. Vullers (1846) calls these types a “vollkommene Knielage” and a “unvollkommene Knielage”. 160 This corresponds to a breech presentation. 161 This corresponds to a transverse presentation. 162 J.A. Vullers (1846) calls this “Schulterlage”. 163 Cf. Mādhavanidāna 64.4–5. See on the particularities of Mādhava’s descriptions: P. Tivārī (1989): 524–526. 164 Bhīṣagratna: contraction of the yoni; Singhal c.s.: retraction. Absence of dilatation or insufficient dilatation of the cervix uteri may be meant. Compare Madhukośa ad Mādhavanidāna 64.10. 165 See on the features indicating incurability in mūḍhagarbha: P. Tivārī (1989): 526–533. 166 The condition called mūḍhagarbha does not occur in the first four months (see the commentaries). Bhoja mentioned a period of three months (see Gayadāsa). 167 See the comments of P. Tivārī (1989): 330–341. Compare Su.Ni.8.10 and Mādhavanidāna 64.2 168 Cf. Ca.Śā.8.30. Su.Ni.8.12 = Mādhavanidāna 64.8. 169 See P. Tivārī (1989): 492–498. Su.U.8.13 = Mādhavanidāna 64.9. 170 Gayadāsa and Dalhaṇa specify that this procedure should be adopted from the ninth month of pregnancy onwards, if the woman is dying. 171 See the commentaries on the term bastamāra and the variant bastidvāra in Vāgbhaṭa’s A.h. See on this verse: R.F.G. Müller (1928): 265. 172 The Carakasaṃhitā deals with vidradhi as one of the types of piḍakā; it distinguishes an external (bāhya) and internal (ābhyantara) type, as well as varieties caused by vāta, pitta, kapha, and concerted action of the doṣas (Sū.17.90–100). 173 Closed (abhihata) and open (kṣata) lesions due to a trauma are mentioned (see the explanations of Gayadāsa and Dalhaṇa). 174 Cf. Ca.Sū.17.103. 175 Cf. Ca.Sū.17.101–102. 176 Cf. Ca.Sū.17.101.
