About instruments


There are one hundred and one instruments. These instruments are used by the hands, so the hands are considered the main ones. Whatever causes particular obstacles to the body and mind is called shalya. Instruments are the only way to remove it. Swastik, sandhans, talas, nadis, shalakas and sub-instruments are of six types. Among them, there are twenty-four swastika instruments, two sandhans, two talas, nadis twenty, shalakas twenty-eight and sub-instruments twenty-five. These are mostly made of iron. In the absence of iron, they are also made of other materials as strong as iron.


The faces of the instruments are of various shapes, like the faces of animals and birds, so the instructions of the scriptures, the advice of the Guru, and the arguments of other instruments will make them in the shape of the faces of those animals according to the pattern and arguments of other instruments. The instruments will generally not be small or large in size. They will be trimmed and polished as required. They must be strong, beautiful and well-bent.


Swastika Yantra - Its proof is the eighteen fingers and faces of lion, tiger, donkey, tiger, bear, leopard, cat, fox, deer, deer (especially deer), crow, raven, pheasant, hawk, white-tailed eagle, hawk (a bird that kills a rabbit's head by jumping), owl, hawk, eagle, falcon, black-tailed eagle, black-tailed eagle (a bird), neck-splitter (a bird), water crow, etc. It is attached to a lentil-shaped peg. At the base of the Yantra are two hooks bent in two directions. Stones embedded in the bone are removed with this tool

Sandhanshayantra—People call it Sanduvasi and Semuna. One of the Eth has a mouth that is closed and the other one is open because it is not closed. The proof of this is that sixteen fingers are used to remove the stones that have entered the skin, flesh, veins and nerves.


Talayayantra—The proof of this is twelve fingers. The head of one is flaky like a fish hook and the head of the other is round like two fish hooks joined together. It is used to remove the stones that have entered the ears, nose and nerves.


Nadi Yantra (tube)—It is used in many types and for many purposes.


Some of these are single-headed and some double-headed. They are used to remove stones from the ears, nose etc., to see diseases such as hemorrhoids, to suck out contaminated blood and for other such purposes.


Their shape is long and thick according to the length of the hole.


Pulse instruments are used in fistulas, hemorrhoids, acne, douching, urinary incontinence, ascites, phlegm, constipation, anal obstruction, and smoking. The Alabhu and Vanga instruments will be discussed first.


Rod (Kathi) instrument—This is used in many ways and for many purposes.


Its length is determined according to the location. Among them, rods with faces like earthworms, snake plants, flowers of the Kolthua tree, and banishi kanta are two each. These are used to lift, swing, and remove the stone according to the movement of the puja. Two rods are used to remove the stone between the holes. The faces of both of them are like lentil stalks. Six cotton swabs are used for wiping. Three spoon-like rods are used for applying the lye. There are six rods, the first three of which have heads like acorns and the other three have heads like hooks. The rod used to remove mucus from the nose has a bearded face, and the seeds of acorns look like spoons. Applying antimony

The rod used for this purpose is round in the middle like a pea and the ends are thin at both ends like a flower bud. A type of rod is used for refining the mudra path, the thickness of which is like the tip of a lotus flower.


Accessories - rope, braided rope, straw, skin, bark, lye, cloth, potter's wheel (made of stone), mudgar, hands, feet, fingers, tongue, teeth, nails, face, hair, horsehair, tree branches, spitting, snorting, joy, magnet, fear, alkali, fire and medicine. They will be applied to all parts of the body, to the joints, to the organs (stomach, pancreas, spleen, urinary bladder, blood, heart, lungs) and to the arteries as appropriate.


The twenty-four functions of instruments are: to stir, to fill, to tie, to cut, to move from one place to another, to turn, to open, to squeeze, to clear the way, to pull, to spread, to wash, to raise, to throw, to break, to crush, to suck, to fill, to burst, to straighten, to wash, to blow and to wipe.


Due to the many differences in the types of instruments, the wise physician will be able to imagine the functions of all the instruments by the power of his intellect.


Faults of the instrument - Being too thick, not made of good metal, being too big, being too small, not holding well, holding on one side, being bent, being loose, being too high, having a soft peg, having a soft face and having a thin and not tight rope, these are the twelve faults of the instrument.


Without these twelve faults, the instrument which is eighteen fingers long is the one that is wide enough to perform the work.


The visible stone should be used with the Singhamukhaya instrument and the invisible stone with the Kankamukhaya instrument, according to the arguments of the scriptures, and should be used steadily and steadily. Among the instruments, the Kankamukhaya instrument is the best, because it enters easily, comes out easily and removes the stone easily, and it can be used to perform work on every part of the body.
