The seven kañcukas are dangerous impurities which may cause diseases; mṛnmaya may lead to kuṣṭha, pāṣāṇasambhava to jādya, vārija (= jalajāta) to vātastoma, 91 kapāli and kāpālikā to cilharī, 92 kālikā to gajacarman, dadru, pāṇḍuroga, moha, dubhita 93 and kāmalā, and śyāmā to śvetakuṣṭha. The five doṣas are thought to injure the tejas, to cause sattvaghāta, ghūrma, 94 aṅgasphuṭana, and unmattatā (18cd–22).
