Dantamāṃsa (दन्तमांस) refers to “tooth-flesh”, and is mentioned in verse 2.3 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—The compound dantamāṃsa (“tooth-flesh, gums”) has been interpreted as copulative rather than determinative and rendered by so daṅ rñil (“teeth and gums”); see Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha 13.16 (our subsequent numbering), which reads “dantān dantamāṃsānyabādhayan”—“without injuring teeth (and) gums”.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
