v4.c57.58
135 The Bower MS mentions seven sthānas (translated by Hoernle as grounds) of mahākṣaya; Hoernle interprets them as the seven elements of the body (dhātu) and supposes mahākṣaya to be the same as rājayakṣman. Mahākṣaya, however, more probably designates decrease of the elements of the body, a group of disorders that differs from rājayakṣman (see, e.g., Ca.Sū.17.64–69).
