In the original form of this verse in Nadivijnanam, V. 31, there is only a little variation of two words in the beginning “ जिह्म जिह्म" in place of “ मन्दं मन्दं" of Nadiprakasam. The remaining versions of the verse are same as in both Nadivijnanam V. 31, and Nadiprakasam. 13.2.
In the case of other incurable diseases the symptoms of pulsation are presented in Nadiprakasani, verse 14.2, as follows:
प्रर्व पित्तगति प्रभंजनगतिं श्लेष्माणमाबिभ्रतीं, सन्तानभ्रमणं मुहुविदधतीं चक्राधिरूढामिव ।
तीव्रत्वं दधतों कलापि गतिका सूक्ष्मत्वमातन्वतीं, नो साध्यां धमनी वदन्ति मुनयो नाड़ीर्गतिज्ञानिनः ।। NV. 14.2
The same version of this verse is embodied in Nadivijnanam verse 30, in its original form.
As regards the determination of the time of death of a patient as indicated by the movement of his pulse, Nadiprakasam, verse 16.2, states it in the following way :
क्षणाद् गच्छति वेगेन शान्ततां लभते क्षणात् । सप्ताहान्मरणं तस्य यद्यङ्ग शोथवजितम् ।। NP. 16.2
The verse is found in Nadivijnanam veise 56, in its original form with a variation as noted below:
क्षणाद् गच्छति वेगेन क्षणाद् गच्छति शान्तताम् । सप्ताहान्तमरणं तस्य यद्यङ्ग शोथवजितम् || NV. 56
