194 Cf. Ni.8.13; Śā.4.29. 195 The Carakasaṃhitā (Ci.19.5) describes it as belonging to the vāta type. 196 Cf. Ci.19.11–12. 197 Vilambikā is not described in the Carakasaṃhitā; the Suśrutasaṃhitā is acquainted with this disorder (U.56.9). 198 Not mentioned in the Carakasaṃhitā. 199 This variety is not known from other sources. 200 See on the types of udara: G.J. Meulenbeld (1991): 94–95. 201 This term is not employed in the Carakasaṃhitā. Bhela's dūṣyodara is closely related to Suśruta's dūṣyudara, caused by the combined action of all three doṣas (Ni.7.11cd–14a). 202 Compare the udakodara of Caraka (Ci.13.45–49 and 175cd) and dakodara of Suśruta (Ni. 7.21b–23). 203 Kṣatodara, also called chidrodara, is described in the Carakasaṃhitā (Ci.13.42–44); the Suśrutasaṃhitā calls it āgantuka, kṣatodara and parisrāvyudara (Ni.7.17–19a). 204 This type is called baddhaguda in the Caraka- (Ci.13.39–41) and Suśrutasaṃhitā (Ni.7. 14b–16ab). 205 Described in the Caraka- (Ci.13.35–38) and Suśrutasaṃhitā (Ni.7.14b–16ab). 206 Cf. Ca.Ci.21.35–39. 207 Caraka's chapter on the treatment of śvayathu (= śotha or śopha; Ci.12) describes three doṣic varieties only. 208 Kāmalā is not separately described in the Bhelasaṃhitā; it is repeatedly referred to as kāmalā or kāmilā (Ci.2.15; 4.84; 13.33: halīma, kāmilā and pāṇḍu; 16.60; 17.43; Ka.6.10). 209 Cf. Ca.Si.9.70cd–87. 210 Cf. Ca.Ci.26.124–128. 211 Described as a local swelling in the Carakasaṃhitā (Sū.18.20). The treatment of the other diseases of the throat, those of the eyes, nose and oral cavity are not dealt with in the preserved parts of the Bhelasaṃhitā. Incidentally mentioned are, for example, dantacāla (Si.2. 14), dantapupuṭaka (Si.2.3), mukhacāla (Si.2.16), mukhapāka (Sū.25.24; Ci.4.85), naktāndhya (Ci.4.85), netraniṣyanda (I.4.2), pratīśyāya (Sū.6.36 and 50; 13.15; 21.2; 23.3; I.6.4; Ci.4 4; Si.2.2), pūtinasya (Ci.4.86), and tālukavidradhi (Si.2.3). 212 Cf. Ca.Sū.21.55–59. 213 Cf. Ca.Sū.24.35–41. Bhela calls mūrchā once mūrchāya (Sū.11.13), as Caraka does. 214 One of the disorders mentioned is vardhma (Ci.24.1); see also Ci.5.36 and 45. 215 See on plīhodara: G.J. Meulenbeld (1991): 94–95. 216 See on apatantraka: G.J. Meulenbeld (1997). 217 These are enumerated in the Carakasaṃhitā (Ci.25.24–25ab). 218 These are enumerated in the Carakasaṃhitā (Ci.25.39cd–43). 219 Surgeons (śalyakartar) are also mentioned at Ci.12.3; 13.36 and 38; 16.64. 220 Cf. Ca.Ci.24.89–97. 221 Pāṇājīrṇa, described in the Suśrutasaṃhitā (U.47.20cd–21ab), is absent from the Carakasaṃhitā. Another specific disorder, called pāṇavibhrama, also described in the Suśrutasaṃhitā (U.47.21cd–22ab), is referred to in the Bhelasaṃhitā (Ci.28.34). The disorders caused by alcoholism, called dhvamsaka and vikṣaya, described in the Carakasaṃhitā (Ci. 24.199–205), are not mentioned in the Bhelasaṃhitā. 222 Compare Caraka's list (Si.6.29–30). Compare Bhela Si.4.8–10 and 15–28ab with Ca.Si.6. 78–84.
