Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: The Garuda puranam

Parasites (krimi), offspring of the deranged Kaphah and vitiated blood, give rise to swellings about the ear-lobes attended with pain and itching, burning sensations. These pustular eruptions, engendered through the action of the deranged Kaphah and vitiated blood are gradually found to spread over and invade the concha and lobes of the ears. This disease is called Parichi.
