191 The names of the saṃnipāta fevers described are vidhu, phalgu (215), yāmya, krakaca, pākala (216), and kūṭapākala (217). The descriptions of the saṃnipāta fevers, as found in the Kāśyapasamhitā, are partly quoted in the Madhukośa ad Mādhavanidāna 2.18–23, where they are said to derive from the Bhālukitantra. See G.J. Meulenbeld (1974): 104–105 and 165–167. One or more series of them saṃnipāta fevers are described in many treatises, for example, the Bhāvaprakāśa, Jvaranirṇaya, Jvaratimirabhāskara, Jvaratriśatī, Parahitasamhitā, and Yogaratnākara.
