श्रीगरुडमहापुराणम्- १६३ धन्वन्तीररुवाच । विसर्पादिनिदानन्ते वक्ष्ये सुश्रुत तच्छृणु । स्याद्विसर्पो विघातात्तु दोषैर्दुष्टैश्च शोथवत्

The Śrī Garuḍa Mahāpurāṇa, 163. Dhanvantari said: at the end of the etiology of swelling etc. I shall speak (of visarpa); Suśruta, hear it. Visarpa arises from injury and from corrupted doṣas, as does swelling.
