Furthermore, by the wisdom acquired from hearing, or with the divine eye, one sees ten kinds of worms. When they reach the liver and lungs, a person becomes diseased. What are the ten? The first is named the hair-eating worm; the second is named the cavity-crawling worm; the third is named the candamāla worm; the fourth is named the red worm; the fifth is named the sap-eating worm; the sixth is named the hair-lamp worm; the seventh is named the blood-angering worm; the eighth is named the flesh-eating worm; the ninth is named the prickling worm; the tenth is named the sour-juice worm. All these worms are minute in form, without feet and without eyes, moving within the blood, taking pain and itching as their characteristics.
