The twenty first chapter is named [[Visarpa Chikitsa]]. The term ''visarpa'' has two parts viz., ''vi'' and ''sarpa''- ''vi'' stands for ''vividha'' meaning ‘various’ (ways) and ''sarpa'' stands for ''sarpan'' means ‘spreading’. Erythematous, pustular, glandular etc. lesions which spread rapidly in localized or generalized pattern are known as ''visarpa'' (Cha.Chi. Chakrapani 21/11). This aliment is also called ''parisarpa''. The prefix ''pari'' stands for ''paritah'' or ''sarvatah'' meaning all over. The disease which spreads all over the body is called ''visarpa''. (Cha.Chi. Chakrapani 21/11) This indicates that ''visarpa'' is an umbrella term used for acute spreading disorders caused due to vitiation of ''rakta''.
