asaṃcchannamadaraṇaṃ kṛmivatsyādudumbaram / sthiraṃ satyānaṃ guru snigdhaṃ śvetaraktaṃ malānvitam
تُوصَف الحالة المسماة «أودومبارا» بأنها مكشوفة بلا غطاءٍ واقٍ، تبدو كالدود؛ ثابتةٌ ملازمة، ثقيلةٌ دهنية القوام، بيضاءُ تميل إلى الحمرة، ويصحبها قذرٌ أو سيلانُ إفرازاتٍ غير طاهرة.

This verse characterizes Udumbara as a worm-like, exposed condition that is firm/chronic, heavy and oily, whitish-red, and associated with impurity or discharge.
Within the instructional dialogue, Vishnu enumerates named conditions and their diagnostic features, presenting a systematic description for recognition and understanding.
Use it as a traditional symptom-description reference while relying on qualified medical diagnosis; it also highlights careful observation of chronicity, color, texture, and discharge.
