The cheek; especially, the part of the cheek near the corners of the mouth. (Rhetoricians con- sider this word to be grāmya or vul- gar; cf. the instance given in K. P. 7: tāṃbūlabhṛtagalloyaṃ bhallaṃ jalpati mānuṣaḥ; but cf. Bhavabhūti's use: pātāla- pratimallagallavivaraprakṣiptasaptārṇavaṃ Māl. 5. 22). Comp. cāturī a small round pillow to put underneath the cheek.
