v4.c57.47
121 A mole according to Hoernle. The term abhīlu occurs in the Cakradatta (kṣudraroga 61–62), where Śivadāsasena explains it as being the same as jaṭula. Abhīlu, jaṭula, jatumaṇi, and piplu are synonyms (Amarakoṣa 2.6.49; Gayadāsa ad Su.Ni.13.41; Madhukośa ad Mādhavanidāna 55.35; Śivadāsasena ad Cakradatta, kṣudraroga 58–60). Suśruta's description of jatumaṇi is reddish, which rather points to a haemangiomatous naevus.
