==== ''Kamala'' ====
In the second part of the chapter ''pandu, kamala'' is elaborately described. If a person suffering from ''pandu'' follows ''pitta'' provoking diet and lifestyle, he suffers from ''kamala''. This shows ''kamala'' is consequence of ''pandu'' or ''pandu'' is essential causative factor for ''kamala''. This shows the relation of jaundice originated due to hemolytic anemia. In other types of jaundice, this notion is not observed in practice. ''Kamala'' can occur without ''pandu''. (Su.Utt.44/9, A.Hri.Ni.13/15-17)
Yellowish discoloration of sclera, skin, face, nails, and urine associated with constitutional symptoms like anorexia, debility, indigestion, loss of physical strength is called ''Kamala''.
