Sharavika, sarshapika, jalini, putrini, kacchapika, masurika, vidarika, vidradhika, alaji and vinata; they are treated with leeches and strong purgation, ripening applications, incision, cleansing and healing.
Detailed answer
Verse 11 names nine and calls them ten; the commentary adds vinata, which verses 19-20 describe. Each is named after its form, for example sharavika after a shallow earthen dish and masurika after a lentil, and all arise from the three doshas. Verses 44-46 give leech bloodletting and strong purgation, then pressing, plastering and bandaging with mustard, radish seed, rock salt, drumstick and the three pungents until the boils ripen, then incision, cleansing and healing.
