श्रीगरुडमहापुराणम्- १५१ धन्वन्तरिरुवाच । हिक्रारोगनिदानञ्च वक्ष्ये सुश्रुत ! तच्छृणु । श्वासैकहेतुः प्राग्रूपं संख्या प्रकृतिसंश्रया

The Śrī Garuḍa Mahāpurāṇa, 151. Dhanvantari said: And I shall declare the etiology of the disease of hiccup, Suśruta; listen to it. Its cause is one with that of dyspnoea, as are its premonitory signs; its number (of types) depends upon the (bodily) constitution.

पृष्ठतो नमनं सार्ष्यं महाहिक्रा प्रवर्तते । महाशूला महाशब्दा महावेगा महाबला ॥ गर्प्_१,१५१।१० ॥ पक्राशयाच्च नाभेर्वा पूर्ववत्सा प्रवर्तते ॥ गर्प्_१,१५१।११ ॥ तद्रूपा सा महत्कुर्याञ्जृम्भणां गप्रसारणम् । गम्भीरेण निदानेन गम्भीरा तु सुसाधयेत्

And from the lower intestine or from the navel it proceeds as before. Being of that form, it would produce much yawning and stretching of the limbs; but the deep(-seated) one one should treat well by (attending to) its deep cause.
