THE SUSHRUTA SAMHTA
[ Chap. VI.

A case of Sirotpáta, if not attended to and remedied in time through ignorance, gives rise to transparent and copper-coloured discharges in copious quantities from the eyes and produce a complete blindness of vision. This is known as the Sirá-harsha. 20.

Thus ends the sixth chapter of the Uttara-Tantra in the Sus'ruta Samhitá which treats of the diseases affecting the eye as a whole.
