2) another side of nose, near nostril

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 2, but at least it's not 1.
The tip of your nose is the part that sticks out furthest from the rest
of your face. If you lie down on your back and look up at the sky above,
the tip of the nose becomes the highest part of your head.
The sharp point of a pencil can also be called the tip of the pencil.
The word "tip" means something like the point of a pointed object.
If you don't quite understand what you read in that book, perhaps it is
safer not to practice it until you know the language better.

| There's a technique called drishti, which is similar:
see a book of Ashtanga by Larry Schultz - pag 18 (the book is free)
http://www.itsyoga.net/us/tools.asp
The technique is called Nasagri
----
Satyananda has a similar technique (trataka) which is done gazing at
the flame of a candle centered in direction of the eyes - one arm
length (the flame should be steady)
