Vedic Reference
English
Balāsa is the name of a disease mentioned several times in
the Atharvaveda^1 and occasionally later.^2 Mahīdhara^3 and
Sāyaṇa^4 interpret the term as ‘consumption.’ Zimmer^5 supports
this view on the ground that it is mentioned^6 as a kind of
Yakṣma, makes the bones and joints fall apart (asthi-sraṃsa,
paruḥ-sraṃsa), ^7 and is caused by love, aversion, and the heart, ^8
characteristics which agree with the statements of the later
Hindu medicine.^9 It is in keeping with a demon of the
character of consumption that Balāsa should appear as an
accompaniment of Takman.^10 Grohmann, ^11 however, thought
that a ‘sore’ or ‘swelling’ (in the case of fever caused by
dropsy) was meant. Bloomfield^12 considers that the question
is still open. Ludwig^13 renders the word by ‘dropsy.’
As remedies against the disease the salve (Āñjasa) from
Trikakud^14 and the Jaṅgiḍa^15 plant are mentioned.
