v4.c57.422

267 The works of Caraka, Suśruta and Vāgbhaṭa do not yet regard *śūla* as a distinct disease, but the *Mādhavanidāna* and later works devote a separate chapter to it. Compare on *śūla*: Su.U.42.66cd–145; *Mādhavanidāna* 26. The varieties of *śūla* appearing in a particular part of the body, described in the *Suśrutasaṃhitā*, are absent from the *Hāritasamhitā*, nor are they mentioned in the *Mādhavanidāna*.
