Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

Kushtha in the skin, blood and flesh is curable with medicines; in the fat it is only manageable; the rest, in bone, marrow and semen, does not heal even with panchakarma.

Detailed answer

Verses 76 and 84 give this scheme. Also incurable are kilasa, tridoshic kushtha, non-discharging pale kushtha in the skin and congenital kushtha (verse 70), pundarika like a white lotus and kakanaka coloured like the bandhuka flower, gold or the bimba fruit (verse 77), and a badly affected child of parents with kushtha (verse 78). Severe eye disease, loss of voice and pus flowing from the sores are the fatal signs (verse 78).
