v4.c57.173

122 The nature of Bhela’s rohiṇikā, also called raktarohiṇikā (Sū.26.5), is not clear. The Carakasaṃhitā (Sū.18.34–36) describes rohiṇī as a swelling of the throat, without distinguishing the doṣic varieties of Bhela. Suśruta regards the kṣudraroga called agnirohiṇī as caused by saṃnipāta (Ni.13.19–20). Dalhaṇa (ad Su.Ni.13.19–20) and Śrīkaṇṭhadatta (ad Mādhavanidāna 55.16–17) allude to doṣic varieties.
