Roga [Vedic roga: ruj (see rujati), cf. Sanskrit rujā breakage, illness] illness, disease. — The definition of roga at Ja II 437 is "roga rujana-sabhāvattaṃ." There are many different enumerations of rogas and sets of standard combinations, of which the following may be mentioned. At sn 311 (cf. D III 75) it is said that in old times there were only 3 diseases, viz. icchā, anasanaṃ, jarā, which gradually, through slaughtering of animals, increased to 98. Buddhaghosa at Pj II 324 hints at these 98 with "cakkhu-rogādinā bhedena." Beginning with this (cakkhuroga affection of the eye) we have a list of 34 rogas at Nidd I 13 (under pākaṭa-parissayā or open dangers = Nidd I 360 = Nidd II §420) and Nidd II §304 1 B, viz. cakkhu° and the other 4 senses, sīsa°, kaṇṇa°, mukha°, danta°; kāsa, sāsa, pināsa, ḍāha, jara; kucchiroga, mucchā, pakkhandikā, sūlā, visūcikā; kuṭṭhaṃ, gaṇḍo, kilāso, soso, apamāro; daddu, kaṇḍu, kacchu, rakhasā, vitacchikā, lohita-pittaṃ, madhumeho, aṃsā, piḷakā, bhagandalā. This list is followed by a list of 10 ābādhas and under "dukkha" goes on with various other "ills," which however do not make up the number 98. The same list is found at A V 110. The 10 ābādhas (Nidd II §304 1 C) occur at A II 87 and Miln 308 (as āgantuka-rogā). The 4 "rogas" of the sun (miln 273, cf. Vin II 295) are: abbha, mahikā, megha, Rāhu. — Another mention of roga together with plagues which attack the corn in the field is given at Ja V 401, viz. visa-vāta; mūsika-salabha-suka-pāṇaka; setaṭṭhika-roga etc., i.e. hurtful winds, mice, moths and parrots, mildew. — The combination roga, gaṇḍa, salla is sometimes found, e.g. M II 230; Vism 335. Of other single rogas we mention: kucchi° (stomach-ache) Ja I 243; ahivātaka° Vin I 78; Ja II 79; IV 200; Dhp-a I 231; paṇḍu° jaundice Vin I 206; Ja II 102; Dhp-a I 25; tiṇapupphaka° hay-fever Miln 216. — See also ātaṅka and ābādha.
