यात्युच्चका स्थिरा नाड़ी या चेयं मांसवाहिनी । या च सूक्ष्मा च वक्रा च तामसाध्यां विनिर्दिशेत् ।।V. ३३॥
(33) The pulse which is mamsavahini (meat-carrying) goes on high (i.e. beats upwards) and is steady and hard like a stick and the pulse which is thin and crooked, ( then ) they should be considered as incurable (i. e. they indicate incurability of the diseases).
स्वस्थानविच्युता नाड़ी यदा वहति वा न वा । ज्वाला च हृदये तीव्रा तदा ज्वालावधि स्थितिः ।।V. ३४।।
(34) If the pulse of a patient, leaving its own place (i. e. the base of the thumb finger)(Svasthanavichyuta) beats once again by halting and halting intermittently or it does not beat, and there is too much intense burning sensation in his heart, then the condition of his life should be known up to that burning (i. e. stoppage of that burning sensation) and his death takes place at the same time (simultaneously) [gvatavadhi sthitih]
वामनाड़ी भवेत् सत्यं यदि स्यात् कुण्डलाकृतिः । मृत्युं शीघ्र विजानीयात् यदि शत्रुसमो भवेत् ।। V. ३५ ।।
(35) If vamanadi (left-hand-pulse) of a person becomes truly circular [ Kundatakrii] in its movement, his death should soon be known as if it becomes like his enemy. [Satrusamo]
