Chakrapani, the commentator of [[Charaka Samhita]] has interpreted the term ''subhaga kshata guda'' as ''subhaga guda'' (one who has delicate anus) and ''kshata guda'' (one who has anal injury). He has also mentioned ''subhagam'' means ''sukhasamvardhita'' (those who has never faced any hardship) according to the view of other scholars in his commentary. ''Virechana'' applied in the person having injury to anus or delicate anus causes harm to the patients. In the person who has taken the ''niruha'' type of enema, at least seven days gap is essential to perform ''virechana karma'' and vice-versa. ''Virechana'' in pregnant woman is contra-indicated up to seventh month except in emergency. In eighth month if disease is curable by ''vamana'' or ''virechana'', then ''mridu vamana'' (mild emesis) or ''mridu virechana'' (mild purgative) can be given.<ref>Agnivesha, Charaka-Samhita, with the “[[Ayurveda]]-Dipika” commentary by Chakrapanidatta and Edited by Vaidya Yadavji Trikamji Acharya, Chaukhamba Surbharati Prakashan, Varanasi (India), reprint edition-2000, Page No.-344</ref>
