bal pa is often translated as frog, but the illustrations suggest that in the medicinal context sbal pa is rather toad than frog (stout body, short legs). Jam-dpal says that there are many kinds, but that it needs the black one (sbal nag, Asiatic toad). He uses the name chu sbur for tadpoles (sbal pa mjug ma can). chu sbur is normally identified with diving beetles. See also gangs sbal, da byid and skyin gor for other amphibians.
