Garuda Purana

प्रनष्टज्ञानविज्ञानो विभ्रान्तनयनाननः । नेत्रे समाक्षिपन्बद्धमूत्रवर्चा विशीर्णवाक् ॥ १,१५०.

His knowledge and discernment are lost, his eyes and face are bewildered; he draws his eyes together, his urine and stool are retained, and his speech is broken.

शुष्ककण्ठो मुहुश्चैव कर्णशङ्खाशिरोऽतिरुक् । यो दीर्घमुच्छ्वसित्यूर्ध्वं न च प्रत्याहरत्यधः ॥ १,१५०.

His throat is dry again and again, and there is severe pain in his ears, temples, and head; he breathes out long and upward, but does not draw breath back down.

श्लेष्मावृतमुखश्रोत्रः क्रुद्धगन्धवहार्दितः । ऊर्ध्वं समीक्षते भ्रान्तमक्षिणी परितः क्षिपन् ॥ १,१५०.

His mouth and ears are blocked with phlegm, afflicted by a disturbed sense of smell; he looks upward, his eyes wandering, casting glances all around.

मर्मसु च्छिद्यमानेषु परिदेवी निरुद्धवाक् । एते सिध्येयुरव्यक्ताः व्यक्ताः प्राणहरा ध्रुवम् ॥ १,१५०.

When the vital spots are being injured, he laments, his speech suppressed; these unmanifest symptoms may become manifest, and certainly bring death.

श्रीगरुडमहापुराणम् १५१ धन्वन्तरिरुवाच । हिक्रारोगनिदानञ्च वक्ष्ये सुश्रुत ! तच्छृणु । श्वासैकहेतुः प्राग्रूपं संख्या प्रकृतिसंश्रया ॥ १,१५१.

Dhanvantari said: I will explain the origin of the disease of hiccup, O Suśruta; listen to this. Hiccup has a single cause, its preliminary signs, types, and dependence on constitution.

हिक्रा भक्ष्योद्भवा क्षुद्रा यमला महतीति च । गम्भीरा च मरुत्तत्र त्वरयायुक्तिसेवितैः ॥ १,१५१.

Hiccups arise from food, are minor or paired or great; there is also a deep type, O Marut, caused by improper, hurried, or excessive consumption.

रूक्षतीक्ष्णखराशान्तैरन्नपानैः प्रपीडितः । करोति हिक्रां श्वसनः मन्दशब्दां क्षुधानुगाम् ॥ १,१५१.

When one is afflicted by dry, sharp, rough, or excessive food and drink, the breath produces a mild hiccup, with a soft sound, following hunger.

समं सन्ध्यान्नपानेन या प्रयाति च सान्नजा । आयासात्पवनः क्रुद्धः क्षुद्रां हिक्रां प्रवर्तयेत् ॥ १,१५१.

The hiccup that arises together with food and drink at twilight is called 'paired'; when wind is disturbed by exertion, it produces a minor hiccup.

जत्रुमूलात्परिसृता मन्दवेगवन्ती हि सा । वृद्धिमायासतो याति भुक्तमात्रे च मार्दबम् ॥ १,१५१.

That which spreads from the root of the neck, moving slowly, increases with exertion and becomes mild immediately after eating.

चिरेण यमलैर्वेगैर्या हिक्रा संप्रवर्तते । परिणामान्मुखे वृद्धिं परिणामे च गच्छति ॥ १,१५१.

The hiccup that arises after a long time, with paired impulses, increases in the mouth as it progresses and grows with each episode.

कम्पयन्ती शिरो ग्रीवां यमलां तां विनिर्दिशेत् । प्रलापच्छर्द्यतीसारनेत्रविप्लुतजृम्भिता ॥ १,१५१.

The one that causes trembling of the head and neck should be identified as the 'paired' type, accompanied by delirium, vomiting, diarrhea, and rolling of the eyes.

यमला वेगिनी हिक्रा परिणामवती च सा । ध्वस्तभ्रूशङ्खयुग्मस्य श्रुतिविप्लुतचक्षुषः ॥ १,१५१.

The paired, forceful hiccup, which comes with progression, causes the brows and temples to droop, and disturbs hearing and sight.

स्तम्भयन्ती तनुं वाचं स्मृतिं संज्ञां च मुञ्चती । तुदन्ती मार्गमाणस्य कुर्वती मर्मघट्टनम् ॥ १,१५१.

It stiffens the body and speech, takes away memory and consciousness, strikes the vital channels, and causes pain along their course.

पृष्ठतो नमनं सार्ष्यं महाहिक्रा प्रवर्तते । महाशूला महाशब्दा महावेगा महाबला ॥ १,१५१.

When there is bending backward and trembling, the great hiccup arises; it brings severe pain, loud sound, great force, and immense strength.

पक्राशयाच्च नाभेर्वा पूर्ववत्सा प्रवर्तते ॥ १,१५१.

It also arises from the stomach or navel, just as previously described.

तद्रूपा सा महत्कुर्याञ्जृम्भणां गप्रसारणम् । गम्भीरेण निदानेन गम्भीरा तु सुसाधयेत् ॥ १,१५१.

That type produces great yawning and stretching of the jaw; with a deep cause, the deep hiccup is difficult to cure.

आद्ये द्वे वर्जयेदन्ये सर्वलिङ्गां च वेगिनीम् । सर्वस्य संचितामस्य स्थविरस्य व्यवायिनः ॥ १,१५१.

In the first two types, one should avoid the others; the forceful type shows all symptoms, especially in those who are old or sexually active.

व्याधिभिः क्षीणदेहस्य भक्तच्छेदकृशस्य च । सर्वेऽपि रोगा नाशाय न त्वेवं शाघ्रकारिणः ॥ १,१५१.

For one whose body is weakened by disease and emaciated from lack of food, all other ailments may be cured, but not so for one who acts rashly.

हिक्राश्वासौ यथा तौ हि मृत्युकाले कृतालयौ ॥ १,१५१.

Just as hiccup and breathlessness, when established at the time of death, remain fixed.

श्रीगरुडमहापुराणम् १५२ धन्वन्तरिरुवाच । अथातो यक्ष्मरोगस्य निदानं प्रवदाम्यहम् । अनेकरोगानुगतो बहुरोगपुरोगमः ॥ १,१५२.

Dhanvantari said: Now, therefore, I shall explain the origin of the disease yakṣma, which is accompanied by many other ailments and is preceded by numerous disorders.

राजयक्ष्मा क्षयः शोषो रोगराडिति कथ्यते । नक्षत्राणां द्विजानाञ्च राज्ञोऽभूद्यदयं पुरा ॥ १,१५२.

It is called rājayakṣmā, kṣaya, śoṣa, and the lord of diseases; in ancient times, this affliction befell the king among stars and twice-born ones.

यच्च राजा च यक्ष्मा च राजयक्ष्मा ततो मतः । देहौषधक्षयकृतेः क्षयस्तत्सम्भवाच्च सः ॥ १,१५२.

Because both 'king' and 'yakṣma' are present, it is known as rājayakṣmā; it is called kṣaya due to the wasting of the body and vital substances, and arises from that cause.

रसादिशोषणाच्छोषो रोगराडिति राजवत् । साहसं वेगसंरोधः शुक्रौजः स्नेहसंक्षयः ॥ १,१५२.

It is called śoṣa because of the drying up of fluids and so forth; it is the lord of diseases, like a king; it arises from rash actions, suppression of natural urges, and the depletion of semen, strength, and unctuousness.

अन्नपानविधित्यागश्चत्वारस्तस्यहेतवः । तैरुदीर्णोऽनिलः पित्तं व्यर्थं चोदीर्य सर्वतः ॥ १,१५२.

Abandonment of proper rules regarding food and drink—these four are its causes; by them, wind is provoked, and pitta is disturbed everywhere in vain.

शरिरसन्धिमाविश्य ताः शिराः प्रतिपीडयन् । मुखानि स्रोतसां रुद्ध्वा तथैवातिविसृज्य वा ॥ १,१५२.

Entering the joints of the body, they press upon the veins, block the channels, or cause excessive discharge.

मध्यमूर्ध्वमधस्तिर्यगव्यथां सञ्जनयेद्धृदः । रूपं भविष्यतस्तस्य प्रतिश्यायो भृशं ज्वरः ॥ १,१५२.

They produce pain in the middle, upper, lower, and transverse parts of the body, and in the heart; the symptoms that arise are severe nasal catarrh and fever.

प्रसेको मुखमाधुर्यं मार्दवं वह्निदे हयोः । लौल्यभावोऽन्नपानादौ शुचावशुचिवीक्षणम् ॥ १,१५२.

There is excessive salivation, sweetness in the mouth, softness, impairment of digestive fire, craving for food and drink, and seeing pure and impure things alike.

मक्षिकातृणकेशादिपातः प्रायोऽन्नपानयोः । हृल्लासश्छर्दिररुचिरस्नातेऽपि बलक्षयः ॥ १,१५२.

Food and drink are often contaminated by flies, grass, hair, and the like; there is nausea, vomiting, loss of taste, and weakness even after bathing.

पाण्योरुवक्षः पादास्यकुक्ष्यक्ष्णोरतिशुक्लता । बाह्वोः प्रतोदो जिह्वायाः काये बैभत्स्यदर्शनम् ॥ १,१५२.

The hands, thighs, chest, feet, mouth, abdomen, and eyes become excessively pale; there is whip-like pain in the arms, burning of the tongue, and a repulsive appearance of the body.
