Sushruta Samhita 6.14: Bhedyarogapratiṣedho nāma caturdaśo'dhyāyaḥ

Now we shall expound the prevention of incisable diseases.

As the blessed Dhanvantari stated:

Having fomented the bisagranthi, its openings made free of accumulated matter, / and having incised it with an instrument once ripe, he should dust it with rock salt,

mixed with green vitriol, long pepper, iron filings, realgar, and cardamom; / then, having applied honey and ghee, he should properly bandage it.

Yellow orpiment, caustic alkali, blue vitriol, / long pepper, and honey: each one is desired for local rubbing when lagaṇa has been incised.

Even when it is large, one skilled in the rules should apply caustic alkali and cautery. / Having fomented, incised, and squeezed añjananāmikā,

the physician should rub it locally with realgar, cardamom, Indian valerian, and rock salt, along with honey; / or one skilled in surgical operations, having incised it, with rasāñjana and honey,

and having rubbed it, should apply warm collyria produced from a lamp flame. / When kṛmigranthi has been properly fomented and incised, the local rubbing should be

an extract paste with triphalā, blue vitriol, green vitriol, and rock salt. / Having incised an upanāha caused by phlegm, with long pepper, honey, and rock salt

he should cause it to be scraped with a round-headed knife, and he should scarify it all around; / and having oleated it and fomented it with leafy bundles as is comfortable,

in all these, the procedure preceded by oleation is prescribed; / once it is fully matured, he should become attentive and perform the healing of the wound.

Thus ends the fourteenth chapter, named "The Prevention of Incisable Diseases," in the Head and Neck Section included in the Uttaratantra of the Suśrutasaṃhitā.
