Garuda Purana

काशश्वासोरुसद्गनं शिरोरुङ्नाभिपार्श्वरुक् । मलासंगोऽरुचिश्छर्दिरुदरे मलमारुतः ॥ १,१६१.

Cough, breathlessness, chest pain, headache, pain in the navel and sides, constipation, loss of appetite, vomiting—these are caused by the abdominal wind.

स्थिरनीलारुणशिराजालैरुदरमावृतम् । नाभेरुपरि च प्रायो गोपुच्छाकृति जायते ॥ १,१६१.

The abdomen becomes covered with firm, blue, and red veins; above the navel, a shape resembling a cow's tail often appears.

अस्थ्यादिशल्यै रन्यैश्च विद्धे चैवोदरे तथा । पच्यते यकृतादिश्च तच्छिद्रैश्च सरन्बहिः ॥ १,१६१.

When the abdomen is pierced by bone fragments or other foreign bodies, the liver and other organs begin to decay, and fluid flows out through those openings.

If there is rawness or burning in the rectum, the fecal matter becomes scanty, foul-smelling, slimy, yellow, and bloody.

The remaining matter fills the abdomen, causing severe distress; it increases below the navel and quickly takes on a watery nature.

When the doṣas are greatly increased and pervade the body, along with breathlessness, thirst, and dizziness, this is called 'perforated abdomen'; others call it 'leakage.'

प्रवृत्तस्नेहपानादेः सहसापथ्यसेविनः । अत्यम्बुपानान्मन्दाग्नेः क्षीणस्यातिकृशस्य च ॥ १,१६१.

In those who suddenly indulge in unwholesome foods after consuming oily substances, who drink excessive water, have weak digestion, or are emaciated and very thin—

रुद्धः स्वमार्गादनिलः कफश्च जलमूर्छितः । वर्धते तु तदेवाम्बु तन्मात्राद्विन्दुराशितः ॥ १,१६१.

When the wind is obstructed from its own path, and phlegm is thickened by water, that very water increases, and from that essence, a drop is formed and accumulates.

तत्कोपादुदरं तृष्णागुदस्नुतिरुजान्वितम् । काशश्वासारुचियुतं नानावर्णाशिराततम् ॥ १,१६१.

From that disturbance arises abdominal swelling, accompanied by thirst, the flow of mucus, pain, cough, breathlessness, loss of appetite, and various colored veins spreading.

तोयपूर्णान्मृदुस्पर्शात्सदृशक्षोभवेपथु । बकोदरं स्थिरंस्निग्धं नाडीमावृत्य जायते ॥ १,१६१.

When the abdomen is filled with water, soft to the touch, trembling, and shivering similar to agitation, a stable and unctuous 'Bakodara' arises, blocking the channels.

उपेक्षायाञ्च सर्वेषां स्वस्थानां परिचालिताः । पाका द्रवा द्रवीकुर्युः सन्धिस्रोतोमुखान्यपि ॥ १,१६१.

And when all the healthy elements are neglected and disturbed, the digested and undigested fluids liquefy even the joints and openings of the channels.

स्वेदे चैव तु संरुद्धे मूर्छिताश्चान्तरस्थिताः । तदेवोदरमापूर्य कुर्यादुदरामयम् ॥ १,१६१.

When sweat is also obstructed and the internal fluids are thickened, that very fluid fills the abdomen and causes abdominal disease.

गुरूदरं स्थितं वृत्तमाहतञ्च न शब्दकृत् । हीनबलं तथा घोरं नाड्यां स्पृष्टञ्च सपति ॥ १,१६१.

The heavy abdomen is stable, rounded, injured, and does not produce sound; it is weak, severe, and when touched at the channel, it throbs.

शिरान्तर्धानमुदरे सर्वलक्षणमुच्यते । वातपित्तकफप्लीहसन्निपातोदकोदरम् ॥ १,१६१.

The disappearance of veins in the abdomen is said to be a sign of all types: wind, bile, phlegm, spleen, combined, and watery abdominal diseases.

श्रीगरुडमहापुराणम् १६२ धन्वन्तरिरुवाच । पाण्डुशोथनिदानञ्च शृणु सुश्रत वच्मि ते । पित्तप्रधानाः कुपिता यथोक्तैः कोपनैर्मलाः ॥ १,१६२.

Dhanvantari said: Hear now the origin of pallor and swelling; I will tell you, O attentive one. When the humors dominated by bile are provoked by the causes previously described—

नत्रानिलेन बलिना क्षिप्ताक्षिप्तं यदि स्थितम् । धमनीर्दशमीः प्राप्य व्याप्नुवन्सकलां तनुम् ॥ १,१६२.

If not driven by the strong wind, and if it remains in place, reaching the ten vessels, it spreads throughout the entire body.

स्वयं हरिद्रा हारिद्रं पाण्डुत्वं तेषु चाधिकम् । यातोऽयं प्रहतेदुग्रः स रोगस्तेन गौरवम् ॥ १,१६२.

Itself yellow like turmeric, and with excessive yellowness in those parts, when this severe disease strikes, it brings heaviness.

धातूनां स्पर्शशैथिल्यमामजश्च गुणक्षयः । ततोऽल्परक्तमेदोऽस्थिनिः सारः स्याच्छ्लथेन्द्रियः ॥ १,१६२.

There is looseness of touch in the tissues, loss of qualities due to undigested matter, and thus little blood, fat, and bone remain, with weakened senses.
