What the text says
Each statement reports the source, with its chapter, page and verse. Traditional descriptions are not presented as proven medical facts.
Signs and symptoms1
According to the editor, parimlayi arises from pitta overpowered by the heat of blood; the patient sees all directions as though the rising sun were everywhere, and trees look as if covered with fireflies or some special light.
Prognosis1
Nilika kacha and parimlayi are listed as the two palliable (yapya) pitta-born eye diseases.
Historical1
The editor notes that other texts give, after the tridoshic linganasha, the signs of a pitta disease called parimlayi which is missing here; he holds it necessary to complete the count of six, says the author surely wrote it and it was lost through copyists, and supplies it himself.
