Vedic Reference

English

 Visalya^1 and Visalyaka^2 are names of a disease in the
Atharvaveda. Since Shaṅkar Paṇḍit's reciters^3 pronounced
the word as Visalpaka in all the passages,  that should probably
be adopted as the right reading.^4 Some sort of pain is meant, 
perhaps ‘neuralgia, ’ in connexion with fever.
1) ix. 8,  20.
2) vi. 127,  1 et seq.
 ix. 8,  2. 5
xix. 44,  2.
3) See Bloomfield,  Hymns of the Athar-
vaveda,  601
 Whitney,  Translation of
the Atharvaveda,  376. Cf. Zimmer, 
Altindisches Leben,  378,  384.
4) The commentator Sāyaṇa on vi. 127
reads visalpakaḥ,  and on xix. 44,  2, 
visarpakaḥ.
