The long ones are twelve finger-breadths; the short ones are six finger-breadths. Mostly khadira wood is used. Because this land lacks it, willow branches are mostly used. The \*Account of the Sea Voyage\* says: 'As thick as a little finger, chew one end gently and brush the teeth clean. When finished, split it open, bend it, and scrape the tongue.' The \*Mahīśāsaka Vinaya\* states: 'After chewing, it should be washed clean and discarded, lest insects eat it and die.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.138](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.138) - [Next: 3.140](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.140) - [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.3.139) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.139](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.139) · Pramāṇa
