What the text says

Each statement reports the source, with its chapter, page and verse. Traditional descriptions are not presented as proven medical facts.

Definition1

  • An editorial note says that just as a thorn lodged in the body causes pain, grass, wood, stone, iron, arrows, bone, horn and similar objects inside the body, as well as bad wounds, gulma, stones (ashmari) and an obstructed fetus (mudhagarbha), are all called shalya; shalya means thorn, and whatever pains like a thorn is shalya.
