177 Cf. Ca.Sū.17.103. 178 Compare on makkalla: Su.Sū.33.13; Ni.8.6; Śā.10.22; Mādhavanidāna 64.10–11. Singhal c.s. regard makkalla as puerperal sepsis. See on makkalla: P. Tivārī (1989): 492, 510, 531–532, 602–603: either intra-partum haemorrhage, or spasmodic and irregular uterine contractions. 179 Partus immaturus (garbhapāta) is intended according to Gayadāsa and Dalhaṇa. Gayadāsa prefers the reading adhaḥprajātā, which he explains as indicating any partus before the proper time (akālaprajātā). 180 Cf. Ca.Sū.17.103. 181 Singhal c.s.: osteomyelitis. The disorder may be due to the presence of a sequestrum (śalya; 9.36). 182 Cf. Ca.Ci.21.11. Visarpa is also the name of a type of kuṣṭha in the Suśrutasaṃhitā. 183 Cf. Ca.Ci.21.29–30. 184 Cf. Ca.Sū.21.31–32. 185 Cf. Ca.Ci.21.33–34. 186 Cf. Ca.Ci.21.41. Gayadāsa equates this type with that called antarāśraya by Caraka (Ci. 21.23–25). 187 This may be the bahiḥśrita type of Caraka (Ci.21.23), who does not distinguish a separate traumatic type. The special types, caused by two doṣas, which are important in the Carakasaṃhitā, are ignored by Suśruta. 188 Cf. Ca.Ci.21.28 and 35–42. 189 Su.Ni.10.19–23ab is identical with a series of additional verses at the beginning of Mādhavanidāna 67. 190 Cf. Ca.Śā.8.55; Mādhavanidāna 67.2–3. 191 Cf. Ca.Śā.8.54; Mādhavanidāna 67.4. 192 Su.Ni.10.26–27 = Mādhavanidāna 66.1–2. 193 Singhal c.s.: glandular swelling, cyst, etc. 194 Cf. Ca.Ci.12.81ab. 195 Singhal c.s.: a lipoma or sebaceous cyst? Cf. Ca.Ci.12.81cd; the Carakasaṃhitā also mentions a type of granthi arising from muscular tissue (māṃsa). 196 Singhal c.s.: cervical and axillary lymphadenitis. The Carakasaṃhitā mentions apacī at Sū.3.7 and 11.49; Si.2.17. Compare Mādhavanidāna 38.9cd–10. See on the disease called apacī in the Atharvaveda: M. Bloomfield (1890): 320–328; J. Filliozat (1975): 91–92; Jyotir Mitra (1968a): 2; V.W. Karambelkar (1961): 143–144, 169–182; N.J. Shende (n.d.): 175; K.G. Zysk (1985). 197 Singhal c.s.: tumour. 198 Cf. Ca.Ci.12.87. Compare on arbuda: Ca.Sū.18.33; Ci.29.32 and 33; Su.Sū.24.9. The Bhelasaṃhitā distinguishes five types of arbuda (Sū.26.12). See also Hārīta III.37. 199 Singhal c.s.: goitre. Cf. Ca.Ci.12.79. See also Ca.Sū.18.21; 20.17; Ci.21.139–140; Si.2.17; Su.Sū.24.9. 200 Galagaṇḍa is one single disorder in the Carakasaṃhitā. 201 Cf. Ca.Ci.12.79. Singhal c.s. tentatively identified the syndromes described as myxoedematosis, thyreotoxicosis, and involvement of the nervus recurrens due to a carcinoma. 202 Compare the six types of bradhna described in the Carakasaṃhitā (Ci.12.94–95). Cakra regards bradhna as identical with vṛddhi. 203 See Dalhaṇa’s comments on the aetiology of mūtra- and antravṛddhi. Gayadāsa says that the type caused by blood is associated with pitta, that caused by medas with kapha.
