handle is used by Hemacandra also in the expression däru-hasta'laddle (DN. 3, 1, s v. caṭṭū). hastaka-, in the sense of 'turn-spit' is noted by MW. from the Harṣacarita. Cf. its Gujarati derivative hätho 'handle'. It is interesting to note that corresponding to Sk. tapika and tāpikā-hasta- and its Gujarati derivatives tavi and tāvitho, Konkani has käilä and kailāto (wherein käilä is the same as kahalli, noted at DN. 2. 59 in the sense of tavani, further explained as apupādi-pacana-bhāṇḍa-).
