The cheek; especially, the part of the cheek near the corners of the mouth; Pt.1.123. (Rhetoricians consider this word to be ग्राम्य or vulgar; Compare the instance given in K. Parasmaipada7: ताम्बूलभृतगल्लोऽयं भल्लं जल्पति मानुषः; but Compare Bhavabhūti's use: पातालप्रतिमल्लगल्लविवर- प्रक्षिप्तसप्तार्णवम् Māl.5.22).
