Chapter Five
biting
[dashana cheda]
A description of biting follows that on scratching with
the nails. As far as the ways of biting are concerned, as for embraces, local
custom should be consulted. One should not be led by a state of excitation into
performing acts that are considered unfitting. The subject comprises two
aspects: the areas of the body to which pain may be caused, and the areas to be
avoided.
