How it develops1
From aggravated vata, blood, pitta, kapha and fat, a nodule or swelling like a lump of flesh arises in the muscles in any part of the body; this is called arbuda.
Prognosis2
Because by nature it is dominated by excess kapha and fat, it does not suppurate, and so it is hard to cure.
An arbuda of the eye is listed among the nineteen curable eye diseases born of all three doshas.
