Diseases from snake poison, etc., insect bites, etc., rheumatism, change in form, phlegm (śleṣmadoṣa), hemorrhoids, eye diseases, skin diseases, etc., internal disease, and sickness caused by wounds, etc., by the thousands [can occur] if various sorts of evils touch the Maṇḍala, a defect arises from offense [occurs].
