What are the ten? First is the bone-licking worm; second, the bone-gnawing worm; third, the joint-severing worm; fourth, the red-mouthed foul worm; fifth, the rotting worm; sixth, the red-mouthed worm; seventh, the paduma worm; eighth, the skin-eating worm; ninth, the wind-knife worm; tenth, the knife-mouthed worm. These ten worms move through the bones, running contrary to one's constitution and harming the body beyond full description.
