मांसलेष्ववकाशेषु यवमात्रं शस्त्रं निदध्यात्, अतोऽन्यथाऽर्धयवमात्रं व्रीहिमात्रं वा व्रीहिमुखेन, अस्थ्नामुपरि कुठारिकया विध्येदर्धयवमात्रम् ||९||

sanskrit

In muscular areas, the instrument should be inserted to the depth of a barley grain. In other areas, it should be inserted half the depth of a barley grain or to the depth of a rice grain, with the tip of the instrument shaped like a rice grain. For areas near the bones, a small axe-shaped instrument should be used to puncture to a depth of half a barley grain.
