208 Not described in the Carakasaṃhitā. Cf. Mādhavanidāna 47.1. Upadaṃśa, being a disease of the penis, is restricted to the male, but a related disorder of the same name may occur in females according to some authorities (see Gayadāsa and Dalhaṇa ad Su.Ni.12. 9). The view that upadaṃśa may also affect females is rejected in the Madhukośa ad Mādhavanidāna 47.6–7, but accepted in the Yogaratnākara (ed. f, 1068).
