सिरास्थः कुरुते वायुः पालीशोषं तदाह्वयम् । कृशा दृढा च तन्त्रीवत्पाली वातेन तन्त्रिका ॥ १९ ॥

Vata localized in the sira (veins) produces emaciation/drying up, thinning of the lobe of the ears. This is known as Palishosha. The pinna (or ear lobe) becoming emaciated, static and resembling a wire is Tantrika, caused by Vata.
