sanskrit

There are also various types of rod-like instruments, with various purposes, and of appropriate size and length. Of those, two with the shape of the head, hood, and tail of a centipede, a snake, and a peacock feather, are taught for the purposes of probing, spreading, moving, and extracting. Two with the shape of a lentil leaf, slightly bent at the tip, are for extracting foreign matter lodged in the channels. Six made of cotton are for wiping. Three with the shape of a ladle, with a mouth like a mortar, are for applying alkaline medicines. Three others with the shape of a mongoose's face, three with the shape of a goad, and six are intended for cauterization procedures. One with a mouth the size of a kola-nut leaf, sharp at the edge like a mortar, is for removing tumors of the nose. One with the shape of a kalaya seed, with a closed tip on both sides, is for applying collyrium. One with the size and shape of the tip of a malati flower bud is for cleansing the urethra.
