The pulse becomes slow, crooked, hard and mild in vatarakta (acute gout) while it is steady in Amavata (torpor of the bowels-attended with flatulence and intumescence). (V. 44).
The pulse in colic (Sula): The pulse flows in a very crooked movement in vatasula (colic with flatulence due to intensity of wind); it is burning, i. e. too much hot, in pittasula (colic caused by vitiation of bodily humour-pitta, bile); and it is developed or expanded in Sadhmanasula (colic of abdomen with flatulence and noise), i.e. amasula (pain of indigestion) or Krmisula (colic due to the presence of worms in abdomen. (V. 45).
The pulse in Udavarttanahamutrakrechra : i. e. disease of the bowels by retention of excrements, suppression of urine and painful discharge of urine : The pulse is missing, i. e. not felt by the touch of fingers, in the case of udavartta (disease of the bowels-iliac passion characterized by the retention of excrements). If it is felt sometimes, it becomes very trembling, it becomes heavy and hard in the case of Anoha (supression of urine) and Mutrakrcchra (painful discharge of urine). (V. 46)
The pulse in Gulma (Chronic enlarged spleen) : The pulse is trembling or restless and moves on by turning and turning round like a pigeon in great speed in the case of Gulma (chronic enlarged spleen) (V. 47).
