Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

Seven, from vata, pitta, kapha, blood, fat, urine and intestine; the intestinal kind (antravriddhi) is to be declared incurable before treatment.

Detailed answer

For the urine type the scrotum is pierced with the vrihimukha instrument and drained through a tube as in jalodara; for the fat type it is opened avoiding the sevani and the fat removed; for antravriddhi, once declared incurable, bala oil or castor oil with rock salt is given with vata-reducing care.
