PURE DESI WORDS
209
864. Kappada — 36 8 9 'a garment,' 'a cloth'.
(Compare PSM. kappada-- vastra-, cf. kap pada- occurring in JC. (3 36 15), KC., Bh. in the same sense; cf. MW, kar pata- "old or patched or ragged garments, rag' (Rathāsaritsagara). Cf. M.; G. kapad-, Hi. kapda-, Kan. kappada-= 'cloth, clothing'. ]
855. Kabbada- 5 21 3, 20 5 8, 32 3 15 'a settlement'.
[Vaidya renders it with vasati-viseșa-, The passage at 5 21 3 describes a kabbada- as follows- "kabbadai mahiharapariyariyai "_ 'the kabbadas surrounded by mountains'; PSM. gives kutsita-sahara, as the meaning of the word; cf. karbața-s 'a poor town' (Tri. IIT) and karvata-= 'a settlement surrounded by mountains' (Bf.K.) cf. also kavvada in this sense in Bh. Cf. also MW. karvata-(w= a village, a market town'. kavala-= 'a district containing 100 grāmas', and karvataka-(L)= 'decli. vity of a mountain'. ]
856. Kammāravi- 4 17 9'an act of cleaning the musical instruments'.
[=sarva-vadyānāṁ mýdadisammārjanam karmāravi nāma- (gl.); the context is of a concert; this is not noted by PSM.]
857. Karamara- 9 10 9, 76 7 7 'a sour fruit, Averrhoa Carambola'.
[PSM. does not record this; cf. karimara- (PC.I) and karamara- (PC.II) under Botanical names; cf. MW. karmara-(L), karmāra-(L), karmā. raka-(L), karmaranga-(L), karmaphala-(L)= 'Averrhoa Carambola'; cf. also M. karamara-, karamala-, karambala-, Kon. karbala-= 'Averrhoa Carambola', ]
858. Karamari- 73 21 10, 85 1 16 (v.1.karimari) 'a slave-girl, a prisoner'
[=dasi, bandint (gl.); cf. karamari-= hathahrta stri, "a woman abducted by force' (D. 2 15). Trivikrama paraphrases karamari- as "hathahrta stri bandr” and gives its etymology thus : "karena mrdyamānādakrsyata ityarthe karo pa padad mrdnäterdarž" (Tr. 2 1 30, 105). Obviously Trivikrama is considering karanari as made up of two elements, 1st kara- and 2nd mari, derived from mar, which he takes to be equivalent to Sk. mrd- Cf. Pk. mal--Sk, myd-, cf. MW. karamari (L)= 'a prisoner'. ]
859. Karoda- 65 3 6 'a bull'.
[=vrşabha-(81.); cf, karoda-= vrşabha-= 'bull' (D. 2 54; Tr.3 4 72, 726). ]
