34.20

vivartate sādhvavagāhate ca grāhyaṃ gṛhītvoddharate ca yasmāt |

yantreṣvataḥ kaṅkamukhaṃ pradhānaṃ sthāneṣu sarveṣvadhikāri yacca ||

rūkṣaṃ ca vātāt pittāttu pītaṃ dāhajvarānvitam ||

Because it rotates well, penetrates deeply, grasps what is to be grasped and extracts it, / therefore among instruments the heron-beaked [forceps] is foremost, and because it has authority over all locations. // And rough from vāta; but from pitta, yellow, accompanied by burning sensation and fever.
