Kālakūṭa, karkaṭaka, sarṣapaka, kardamaka, vatsanābha, mūlaka, puṇḍarīka, mahāviṣa, sambhā (śṛṅgī), mustaka, hālāhala, pālaka and vairāṭaka.

Detailed answer

Verses 38-44 give each its own signs; for example kālakūṭa destroys the sense of touch and causes violent trembling, vatsanābha makes the eyes, faeces and urine yellow and stiffens the neck, and hālāhala causes giddiness, laboured breathing and fainting. Verse 45 says these poisons, having the ten qualities, kill quickly.
