Among them, the first two are used for soothing and oleating collyrium; the middle one for scraping; the last two for healing. Because of its softness, the finger is foremost here; therefore, it alone should be used in a painful eye. The others are ten fingers \[long\], thick as a royal bean, very smooth, slender in the middle, bud-shaped at the two ends, and rounded like a pea. - [Previous: 32.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.32.12) - [Next: 32.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.32.14) - [Up: 32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.32) ## Commentaries (1) - [Śaśilekhā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha!indu.39.13) — Indu, Sanskrit ## Linked texts (1) - [Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha.32.13) — Vāgbhaṭa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.32.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.32.13) · Pramāṇa
