Viśalyaghna (विशल्यघ्न):—oder viśalyaprāṇahara adj. heissen nach [Suśruta 1, 347, 3] diejenigen Stellen des Leibes, an welchen eine Wunde tödtlich wird, sobald die Spitze (einer Waffe u. s. w.) ausgezogen wird. Diese Definition scheint falsch zu sein; es sind diejenigen Stellen gemeint, auf welchen ein Schlag lebensgefährliche Wirkung hervorbringt auch ohne dass ein fremder Körper (śalya) in den Leib eindringt: die Schläfen und der Raum zwischen den Brauen [Suśruta 1, 346, 2. 4. 11. 347, 3. 12] (ghnāni Hdschr.). [348, 7.]

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
