ŚīᲹṣa (शरीरजदो�) refers to “somatogenic disease�, and is mentioned in verse 1.25 of the ṣṭṅgṛdⲹṃh (Sūtrasthāna) by 岵ṭa.—The words śīᲹṣa must here be understood, both as “bodily humour� and as “somatogenic disease�: in their primary meaning “bodily humour� they depend on ṇa and refer to the sequence pittakapha in v.6; in their secondary meaning “somatogenic disease� they belong to param auṣadham and contrast with manodosa in v.26. The Tibetans proceed eclectically, adopting the latter connotation but retaining the former construction.
