करोति भस्मसात्सद्यो वह्निः किं नाम तु क्षतम् । आचूषेत्पूर्णवक्त्रो वा मृद्भस्मागदगोमयैः ॥ ४६ ॥
Fire turns everything into ash, what to say of a wound (even that is burnt away along with poison). Or (in case of predominance of Pitta) incision should be made in between two tourniquets (bindings) and blood sucked through the mouth filled earlier with mud,
ash, anti poisonus herbs or cowdung; this should be done specially in fleshy parts; the bitten part should be applied with paste of anti-poisonous herbs again and again and bathed with water added with
this is the best treatment, when the vitiated blood is taken out the poison also comes out. Blood containing poison is foul smelling and makes cracking noise when thrown on fire;
यथादोषं विशुद्धं च पूर्ववल्लक्षयेदसृक् । सिरास्वदृश्यमानासु योज्याः शृङ्गजलौकसः ॥ ५० ॥
the blood has features according to the dosha as described previously (chapter 27 of Sutrasthana). Bloodletting using horn or leechWhen the veins are invisible (for vensection), one should use (to take out the blood) sucking horn or a leech.
