124 The three types arising from medas, snāyu and māṃsa are unknown from other sources. Three disorders called alajī are mentioned in the Suśrutasaṃhitā: a pramehapiḍakā (Ni.6.18), a type of śūkadoṣa (Ni.14.7), and an eye disease (U.2.8). A kṣudraroga, called andhālajī in the Suśrutasaṃhitā (Ni.13.6), may be the same as the kṣudraroga alajī of the Carakasaṃhitā (Ci.12.88). The pramehapiḍakā called alajī is also described in the Carakasaṃhitā (Sū.17.88).
