Vagbhata, Ayurvedic sage discusses a combined presentation of Arshas with Bhagadara in his treatise – Arsho Bhagandara, this combination is quite often noticed in Ayurvedic surgical practice. In this case, Nadi vrana (Pilonidal sinus) co-existed along with the above said two conditions assembling it as Shalya (Vyadhi) Sankara.
