sanskrit

The diseases such as Granthi (aneurism), Vidradhi (abscess), and Alaji (inflammation of the corneal edge) are generally caused by a preliminary swelling. These diseases have distinctive symptoms and shapes. A swelling that arises in any part of the body, which can be round, elevated, even, or uneven, and is called a Shotha. It remains confined to the skin and flesh of its location and is characterized by the deranged action of the bodily humours. A Shotha can be classified into six types based on whether it is caused by deranged Vayu, Pitta, Kapha, or blood, or by the combined action of the three primary humours or is due to trauma.
