【鞞鐸佉】《西域記》云：「象堅窣堵波北山巖下，有一龍泉，是如來受神飯已，及阿羅漢於中漱口嚼楊枝，因即植根，今為茂林，後人於此建立伽藍，名鞞鐸佉。唐言嚼楊枝。」毘柰耶云：「嚼楊枝有五利：一口不臭，二口不苦，三除風，四除熱，五除痰癊。」《四分》：「不嚼楊枝有五過：口氣臭，不善別味，熱癊不消，不引食，眼不明。」

[Vedaka]: The *Records of the Western Regions* says: 'Below the rocky cliff north of the Dṛḍhagaja Stūpa, there is a nāga spring. It was where the Tathāgata, having received miraculous food, together with arhats rinsed his mouth and chewed a tooth-stick; it subsequently took root and has now become a luxuriant forest. Later people established a saṅghārāma here, named Vedaka, which in the language of the Tang means chewing tooth-stick.' The *Vinaya* says: 'Chewing a tooth-stick has five benefits: first, the mouth is not foul; second, the mouth is not bitter; third, it eliminates wind; fourth, it eliminates heat; fifth, it eliminates phlegm and fluid retention.' The *Dharmaguptaka Vinaya* states: 'Not chewing a tooth-stick has five faults: foul breath, inability to discern flavors well, heat and fluid retention not dissipating, lack of appetite, and dimness of eyes.'
