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
Aggravated vata, pitta, kapha, blood and all doshas together produce thorn-like sprouts in the throat that block it at once, each with its dosha's signs; this is called rohini, and a footnote says it is of five kinds.
Classification1
The commentary announces seventeen kinds of throat disease.
Treatment principle1
The three kinds of rohini close the list of disorders for which external caustic is to be used.
Prognosis2
In the throat svaraghna, valaya, vrinda, mahalasa, mamsachaya, rohini, galaugha and the very severe shataghni are named as incurable diseases to be abandoned.
All kinds of rohini are by nature very hard to cure; the commentary says the physician should regard those from all doshas together, from kapha and from blood as incurable and leave them, and the treatment of the curable kind follows.
