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.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.137](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.137) - [Next: 3.139](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.139) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131~en-mt.3.138) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.138](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.138) · Pramāṇa
