Tooth-stick (dantakāṣṭha) (Note that the Sanskrit text says dantaniṣṭhā [for dantakāṣṭha]: danta translates here as "tooth" and niṣṭhā [kāṣṭha] translates here as "wood"; that is, a tooth-stick. The long ones are twelve finger-widths, and the short ones are six finger-widths. They are mostly made using khadira wood; here they mostly use willow twigs because that tree is lacking).
