(Slezmika, Slezmika)
[śleṣmika¦, adj., = Skt. ślaiṣmika, (disease) due to (disturbance of) phlegm: kathaṃ cikitsā kartavyā vāte pitte śleṣmike tathā Suv 177.10 (vs), so Nobel. But the meter is bad, and I think we should read vātike paittike tathā for the 2d pāda, with best ms. except that it reads yettike for pai°. Diseases of phlegm were, in the orig. reading, mentioned in the 2d pāda of the next line, where, contrary to Nobel, I would read with 2 mss., incl. the best, kaphavyādhipraśāntaye (v.l. kaphaja-vyā°). The four pādas then present the same four topics, and in the same order, as in 179.7--10 below.]
