19 Literally: the coming out of (part of) the intestine. This disorder may be a prolapsus. 20 See Su.Ni.1.80 on pādadāha. See also: J. Grierson (1826). 21 An otherwise unknown term. 22 An otherwise unknown disease; it may be the same as ādhmāna (tympanitis). 23 See about the kanda: A. Avalon (1953): 148, 320. 24 See on these three nāḍīs: Ṣaṭcakranirūpaṇa 1 and the commentary of Kālicaraṇa (see A. Avalon, 1953: 320–326 and the corresponding Sanskrit text). See also S. Dasgupta (1975): II, 352–355. 25 See on this subject: A. Shanmuga Velan (1963): 64. 26 See on this subject: E. Ghosh (1928). 27 Āyurvedic theory does not connect the sour taste with kapha, nor the saline taste with pitta. 28 Related names of a group of ten nāḍīs are found in other texts on nāḍīśāstra; see, for example, the Nāḍījñānadarpaṇa. A group of ten main nāḍīs is frequent in Tantric literature, but other numbers are also recorded, for example, fourteen (Śivasamhitā 2.13–15), twenty-four, thirty-two, and seventy-two (see D. Snellgrove, 1987: I, 296). See on the nāḍī system and its interpretation: S. Dasgupta (1975): II, 352–355; S.B. Das Gupta (1974): 153–158; A. Roy (1930). 29 See on the six cakras: Ṣaṭcakranirūpaṇa and its commentary (edited and translated by A. Avalon, 1953). See also: A. Avalon (1953): 103–180; S. Dasgupta (1975): II, 355–357; B. Seal (1985): 219–225. 30 The diseases located in the seven layers are sidhman, alasa, carma(kuṣṭha), kilāsa, kuṣṭha, gaṇḍamālā, and vidradhi.
