271 Caraka and Vāgbhaṭa describe three types caused by one *doṣa*, one *sāmnipātika* type, and one caused by the eating of earth; the last type is not mentioned in the *Suśrutasaṃhitā*. The varieties of *pāṇḍuroga* known as *kāmalā*, *kumbhakāmalā* and *halīmaka* are not discussed in the *Hāritasamhitā*; *kāmalā* and *halīmaka* are incidentally referred to in the verses on treatment. See on *pāṇḍuroga* and its varieties: G.J. Meulenbeld (1974): 296–313 and 626–627.
