क्रोधो यक्ष्मा ज्वरो रोग एकार्थो दुःखसञ्ज्ञकः। यस्मात् स राज्ञः प्रागासीद्राजयक्ष्मा ततो मतः ॥११॥

[Synonyms of disease and history of yakshma] Krodha(rage), yakshma (sickness), jwara(fever) and roga (disease suffering) – these terms are synonymous, and indicate misery. Because it afflicted Chandrama, the king of stars, originally, it is called rajayakshma, or the king of diseases.
