Chapter twenty-four, on amlapitta, is of importance in acknowledging this disease as a distinct entity. Caraka, Suśruta and Vāgbhaṭa do not regard amlapitta as a separate disorder, but it is described as such in the Kāśyapasamhitā and Mādhavanidāna,³²⁹ while the Mādhavacikitsā has a chapter on its treatment. Hāritasamhitā and Mādhavanidāna distinguish an upwards and a downwards moving type; the doṣic varieties of the Mādhavanidāna are not mentioned in the Hāritasamhitā.
