Dear Sir,

I would just like to ask a question..

In this translation below..the word Dantha is translated as Teeth.
I would like to know why the word Tusk is not used instead..

Technically Dantha is used to denote Teeth no doubt but for elephants the word Dantha is also used to denote tusks.

So could you kindly explain as why the word Teeth was used here instead of Tusk..may be there is something I might not know about.

Thank you.

Souchadhikam they parikalpayami,
Herambha vai dantha vishudhimevam,
Vasthrena samprokshya maukharavindam,
Devam sabhayam vinivesayami. 3

After mentally doing ablations of the morn,
Including the cleaning of his teeth,
I wipe his lotus like face with a cloth,
And bring the God who is near to Shiva ,
To the assembly of the devas.

I felt that cleaning of a teeth is a natural act . It could mean tusk also, Ramachander
