He regards them as a description of hataujas fever, which, if accepted, conflict with U.39.38d–41ab, where abhinyāsa and hataujas are identical. 480 Ḍalhaṇa says that the critical days mentioned are those of saṃnipāta fevers with predominance of vāta, pitta, and kapha respectively; others regards them as the days on which an abhinyāsa, hataujas and saṃnyāsa fever become critical.
