I have not been able to find the medical term "jagrī" in any source
available to me. It occurs in verse 2.111c of the *Kālacakra-tantra* (so in
all manuscripts). It is in the phrase: jagrī-plīhārṣa-rogān api
jaṭhara-gatān. So it refers to either an organ or a disease found in the
stomach area, along with plīha (i.e., plīhan, spleen) and arṣa (for arśas,
hemorrhoids). I am seeking a source for it in any Sanskrit medical
treatise, and hopefully its meaning.

Thank you,
