How it develops1
From all three doshas aggravated together, or from any one of them, a swelling with that dosha's features arises at the groin and then descends from the root of the penis to the knee, calf and foot; this is called shlipada.
Prognosis2
It is a stubborn disease which, well settled in the foot, gives the patient pain every day.
A shlipada that has grown excessively is to be regarded as incurable; the verse calls it one to be avoided.
