बस्तिवङ्क्षणनाभीषु ततः शूलोऽस्य जायते |
विण्मूत्रवातसंरोधी बस्तिशूलः स मारुतात् ||१३४||

Vata will get aggravated by suppression of urges (of urine, faeces and flatus). This aggravated vata resides within the space that offers rise to ache within the urinary bladder, groins and umbilicus. This causes obstruction of faeces, urine and flatus. This situation known as Basti Sula and is brought on by aggravated vata.

Mūtrasüla

नाभ्यां वङ्क्षणपार्श्वेषु कुक्षौ मेढ्रान्त्रमर्दकः |
मूत्रमावृत्य गृह्णाति मूत्रशूलः स मारुतात् ||१३५||

Aggravated Vata will get localized within the areas of umbilicus, groin, flanks, pit of the stomach, penis and intestines. Getting localized within the talked about areas, the aggravated vata causes obstruction of elimination of urine and produces ache. This situation known as Mutra Sula, and is brought on by vata.

Vitśūla

वायुः प्रकुपितो यस्य रूक्षाहारस्य देहिनः |
मलं रुणद्धि कोष्ठस्थं मन्दीकृत्य तु पावकम् ||१३६||
शूलं सञ्जनयंस्तीव्रं स्रोतांस्यावृत्य तस्य हि |
दक्षिणं यदि वा वामं कुक्षिमादाय जायते ||१३७||
सर्वत्र वर्धते क्षिप्रं भ्रमन्नथ [सघोषवान् |
पिपासा वर्धते तीव्रा भ्रमो मूर्च्छ च जायते ||१३८||
उच्चारितो मूत्रितश्च न शान्तिमधिगच्छति |
विट्शूलमेतज्जानीयाद्भिषक् परमदारुणम् ||१३९||

Vata obstructs the faeces in the alimentary tract of persons who indulge in ingestion of dry (non-unctuous, non-fatty) foods and causes weakness of digestive fire. It also invades the alimentary tract and gives rise to severe pain either in the right or left part of the abdomen. The pain also spreads to all other parts moving about. The pain is associated with noise (in the abdomen), great increase in thirst, giddiness and fainting.

The pain does not subside even after elimination of faeces or urine. This condition should be understood and diagnosed as Vit Sula – pain in the abdomen caused due to the obstruction of faeces, by the physician. This is a very dreadful condition.

क्षिप्रं दोषहरं कार्यं भिषजा साधु जानता |
स्वेदनं शमनं चैव निरूहाः स्नेहबस्तयः ||१४०||
पूर्वोद्दिष्टान् पाययेत योगान् कोष्ठविशोधनान् |
उदावर्तहराश्चास्य क्रियाः सर्वाः सुखावहाः ||१४१||

In this condition, the physician should quickly administer –

        therapies which mitigate the doshas,

        sudation,

        palliative medicines,

        decoction enemas and

        unctuous / oil enemas

Medicines which purify the alimentary tract which have been mentioned earlier and also the therapies used for mitigating Udavarta will also be beneficial in this condition and has to be administered.

Annadoşhaja sula- pain due to indigestion

अतिमात्रं यदा भुक्तं पावके मृदुतां गते |
स्थिरीभूतं तु तत्कोष्ठे वायुरावृत्य तिष्ठति ||१४२||
अविपाकगतं ह्यन्नं शूलं तीव्रं करोत्यति |
मूर्च्छाऽऽध्मानं विदाहश्च हृदुत्क्लेशो विलम्बिका ||१४३||
विरिच्यते छर्दयति कम्पतेऽथ विमुह्यति |
अविपाकाद्भवेच्छूलस्त्वन्नदोषसमुद्भवः ||१४४||

When more quantity of food is taken, the digestive fire becomes weak. When this happens, the food stays for long periods of time inside (the stomach and intestines) and will cause aggravation of vata. This vata along with undigested food together will produce severe pain. This pain is accompanied by fainting, flatulence, heart-burn, nausea, vilambika – a type of severe indigestion, excessive purgation, vomiting, shaking of body parts and unconsciousness.

This is known as Annadoshaja Sula. It arises from improper digestion of food.

वमनं लङ्घनं स्वेदः पाचनं फलवर्तयः |
क्षाराश्चूर्णानि गुटिकाः शस्यन्ते शूलनाशनाः ||१४५||

For this, the below mentioned treatments are best suited –

        emesis,

        fasting,

        sudation,

        digestive medicines,

        rectal wicks,

        use of alkalis, powders and pills which relieve pain

गुल्नावस्थाः क्रियाः कार्या यथावत्सर्व शूलिनाम्।।

Treatments advocated for Gulma should also be adopted as found suitable in patients of all kinds of sula – abdominal pains.

इति श्रीसुश्रुतसंहितायामुत्तरतन्त्रान्तर्गते कायचिकित्सातन्त्रे गुल्मप्रतिषेधो नाम (चतुर्थोऽध्यायः, आदित) द्विचत्वारिंशोऽध्यायः।।४२।।

Thus ends the forty second chapter by name Gulma Pratisedha in Uttara Sthana of Susruta Samhita.
