विषविष्टम्भगुल्मज्ञानम् -
Knowledge of the pulse in the case of poison, obstruction of urine or ordure and enlargement of spleen :
उत्पत्सुरूपा विषरिष्टिकाले, विष्टभ्भगुल्मेन च वक्ररूपा । प्रत्यर्थवातेन ग्रधः स्फुरन्ती, उत्तान भेदिन्यसमाप्तिकाले 11 V.54
The pulse moves restlessly in the case of taking poison or snake biting, when poison manifests unfvourable symptoms by spreading into the whole body. The movement of the pulse becomes crooked in the case of obstruction of urine or ordure and enlargement of spleen. But it remains as tiryakbhedin (horizontally stretching) beating downwards, due to the intensity of derangement of bodily humour-vata. Before the manifestation of its full symptoms, the pulse moves upwards like creeper, becoming uttanabhedin (stretching upwards). Sometimes it moves horizontally, upwards and downward also. (V. 54)
दोषसाम्याच्च सादृश्यादनुक्तासु रुजास्वपि । ज्ञातव्या धमनीधर्म्मा युक्तिभिश्चानुमानतः || V·55 ।।
The disopsition of the pulse should be known by reasons and inferences (drawn) from equality of faults and similarity of symptoms in the case of untold diseases also. (V. 55)
यो रोगिणः करं स्पृष्ट्वा स्वकरं क्षालयेद् यदि । रोगास्तस्य विनश्यन्ति पङ्कः प्रक्षालने यथा ।। V-56 ।।
