The ''dosha'' resulting from ''sthoolam'' is mentioned as ''karshana'' meaning emaciation which lacks clarity. The ''vyapat'' of ''atisthoola'' is considered along with those caused by ''karkasha, asrimat'' (''netra'' having edges/having hole) and ''avanata'' (downwards) by Sushruta and explained as causing ''gharshana'' (friction/rubbing), ''gudakshata'' (injury to ''guda'') and ''ruk'' (pain) 3.

This explanation of Sushruta seems to be more apt to the context. Also, the number of ''netra dosha'' varies in Sushruta and eleven are considered there viz. ''atisthoola, avanata, karkasha, anubhinnam, sannikrushtakarnika'' (round protuberance designed close to the outlet aperture), ''viprakrushtakarnika'' (round protuberance designed far from outlet aperture), ''sookshmachidra'' (subtle aperture), ''atichhidra'' (wider aperture), ''atideergha, atihrasva'' and ''asrimat''4.
