विध्येद्दैवकृते च्छिद्रे सकृदेवर्जु लाघवात् । नोर्ध्वं न पार्श्वतो नाधः सिरास्तत्र हि संश्रिताः ॥ ३२ ॥

The physician should pierce exactly at this naturally indicated spot (Daivakrita chhidra) only once, straight, and with swift lightness. It must not be done too high, too low, or to the sides, because vital veins (siras) are situated around it.

english translation
