Among those, green ones are superior; makuṣṭhas cause worms; / masūras are exceedingly beneficial for complexion through pastes, and are strongly astringent. // Likewise, diseases situated in the marmas, even when treated with effort. // Resembling a peg, firm and rough—they know that to be a carmakīla. // When that is purified, one should cook a prastha of ghee with twice as much milk. // The agitated vāta, having entered, causes colic and piercing pain; / there, massage, sudation at the anus, and vāta-destroying foods [are indicated]. // Among them, one with rough skin, beating the ground, and weeping without cause, is possessed by Viśākha; / one with a cracked and stammering throat, fracturing his limbs, licking his tongue, chanting with a rosary, and continually purifying himself, is possessed by Saṅgama; / one who becomes angered at the rise and toil of clouds and lightning, considers rain to be all around, and crushes carts, is possessed by Vidyunmālin; / one who begs for raw meat, flesh, radish, fried cake, and rice pudding, and has rough skin, is possessed by Virūpākṣa.
