403 This disease is, according to the author (4.731), regarded as a variety of upadaṃśa, a type of meha, or an abscess at the orifice of the bladder (bastidvārasthavidradhi); it is also called aupasargikameha or pūyasrāva (4.783–785 and 798), which indicates that gonorrhoea is meant; the commentator equates uṣṇavāta with saujāka (2.41).
