302 Cf. Su.U.7. The Hṛdaya does not describe the dṛṣṭi (see Su.U.7.3–4). 303 Cf. Su.U.7.6–7ab. 304 The translation of Hilgenberg and Kirfel is wrong here. 305 Cf. Su.U.7.7cd–10. 306 Cf. Su.U.7.11–15ab. Affection of the third paṭala is called timira in the Suśrutasaṃhitā. 307 Kāca is a synonym of liṅganāśa, not a separate stage, in the Suśrutasaṃhitā (U.7.15cd–18ab); nevertheless, the colours of the dṛṣṭi in cases of kāca are separately described (see Dalhaṇa ad Su.U.7.27). 308 Not the eye, as Hilgenberg and Kirfel assume. 309 Hilgenberg and Kirfel are wrong in their translation (das Auge geht allmählich zu Grunde). 310 Cf. Su.U.7.15cd–18ab. 311 Cf. Su.U.7.18cd–19ab (timira), 27 (kāca), 29cd (liṅganāśa). 312 Cf. Su.U.7.41cd–42ab (gambhīrikā). 313 Cf. Su.U.7.19cd–20ab (timira), 27 (kāca), 30ab (liṅganāśa). 314 Cf. Su.U.7.40ab (hrasvajāḍya). 315 Cf. Su.U.7.35cd–37ab. 316 Cf. Su.U.7.20cd–22ab (timira), 27 (kāca), 30cd–32ab (liṅganāśa). 317 Cf. Su.U.7.22cd–23ab (timira), 27 (kāca), 32cd (liṅganāśa). 318 Cf. Su.U.7.23cd–24 (timira), 27 (kāca), 33 (liṅganāśa). 319 Cf. Su.U.7.40cd–41ab (nakulāndhya). 320 Cf. Su.U.7.37cd–38 (śleṣmavidgadhṛṣṭi or naktāndhya). 321 Not described in the Suśrutasaṃhitā. 322 Not described in the Suśrutasaṃhitā. 323 Cf. Su.U.7.39 (dhūmadarśa). 324 This type is related to that called animittaja in the Suśrutasaṃhitā (U.7.43cd–44). 325 Nākulāndhya is incurable in the Suśrutasaṃhitā (U.1.39). 326 Cf. Su.U.1.29cd–31ab (gambhīrikā is incurable; kāca due to vāta is palliable); 1.31cd–33ab (hrasvajāḍya is incurable; kāca due to pitta is palliable; pittavidgadhṛṣṭi and dhūmadarśin are curable); 1.33cd–35 (kāca due to kapha is palliable; śleṣmavidgadhṛṣṭi is curable); 1.36–38 (kāca due to rakta is palliable); 1.39–42 (nakulāndhya is incurable; kāca due to the three doṣas is palliable); U.17.3. 327 The Suśrutasaṃhitā distinguishes twelve diseases of the dṛṣṭi (U.7.5; 17.3). The Hṛdaya does not describe parimlāyin (Su.U.7.25–26ab and 28–29ab), the nimittaja type (Su.U.7.42cd–43ab) and the traumatic type (Su.U.7.45cd). The Hṛdaya distinguishes six sets of timira, kāca and liṅganāśa, whereas Suśruta has six types of timira = kāca = liṅganāśa. Parimlāyin is one of Suśruta's liṅganāśa types; the nimittaja, animittaja and traumatic types are no separate items in the Suśrutasaṃhitā. 328 The separate chapters of the Hṛdaya on the treatment of timira and liṅganāśa are an innovation. The Suśrutasaṃhitā has one chapter (U.17) on the treatment of diseases of the dṛṣṭi. 329 This disorder (also mentioned at A.h.U.13.30, 34, 35), obviously characterized by red streaks in the eyes, is not described as a separate entity in the Hṛdaya. It may be related to sirotpāta or be identical with it (see the Kairalī commentary). The term is also found, for example, in the Suśrutasaṃhitā ((U.18.102) and the Yogaśataka (53). 330 Desribed under the name doṣāndhya in the preceding chapter (see Indu and the Kairalī). Compare A.h.U.13.84 and 88 (niśāndha), 85 and 87 (rātryandha).
