c7.s2.t1.8

¹ Curiously enough, in the exact position indicated by Nanda Paṇḍita, there is a small elongated bone, called the Zygomatic Process (see Figs. 211, 239, on pp. 184, 204, of Dr. Gerrish’s Textbook of Anatomy, 2nd ed., 1903). But, even granting the improbable assumption that this process was known to the legal commentators, the explanation is out of place, because akṣa is enumerated, not among the bones of the head, but among those of the trunk.
