1. *Danta*, tooth; *dant-olūkhala*, tooth-socket, or *sthāla*, socket, or *sūkṣma*, minute bone. The term *dant-olūkhala* for the socket of a tooth occurs in the Medical Version of the system of Ātreya, as reported by Charaka (§ 4) and Bheḍa (§ 12), and adopted by Vāgbhaṭa I (§ 37), while the other two terms, *sthāla* and *sūkṣma*, are peculiar to the Non-medical Version (§§ 16, 22, cl. 4).
