Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

Aruna from vata; kapala, rishyajihva, audumbara and kakanaka from pitta; dadru and pundarika from kapha.

Detailed answer

Verses 61-62 say these are called great because they penetrate the tissues and are mostly incurable. Minor kushtha has thousands of varieties through kapha and blood (verse 63); the text goes on to describe sidhma, rakasha, mahakushtha, eka, vicharchi, vipadika, parisarpa, visarpana, kitibha, charmadala, pama and kacchu, and verse 58 says kushtha takes eighteen forms.
