स्मृतिर्भूतार्थविज्ञानमपश्च परिवर्जने | अपस्मार इति प्रोक्तस्ततोऽयं व्याधिरन्तकृत् ||३||

sanskrit

The word “Smriti” signifies the faculty of past sense-perceptions and (the prefix) “Apa” denotes the privation (of any object or attribute). Hence, this disease (in which an individual loses the faculty of past cognitions) is termed Apasmara (Epilepsy) and it turns fatal.
