352 Called āṭīmukha in Suśrutasaṃhitā and Aṣṭāngasaṃgraha. 353 Called antaravaktra in the list. 354 The description can be interpreted in two ways: the antaravaktra has a semilunar end (ardhacandrānana) or the ardhacandrānana is a separate instrument. The list has both antaravaktra and ardhacandrānana. Aruṇadatta regards the ardhacandrānana as distinct from the antarmukha. See G.
