35.11

If a swelling accompanied by pricking pain and itching should arise from provocation of vāta due to cold pastes and the like in one whose blood has flowed, one should sprinkle it with hot ghee. / This very regimen applies also to fat-born [conditions]. Moreover, one should repeatedly rub a fatty nodule smeared with sesame paste, covered by a twofold cloth, with a heated plowshare or a ladel coated with lac; / and applying a sharp instrument, one should cauterize the fat as before; / or having incised it when well-ripened and washed it with urine, one should plaster it with sesame seeds mixed with honey, rock salt, suvarcikā, kāñcanakṣīrī, and orpiment, heavily combined with kṣīrabaka.
