871. Kudhi Lagg-- 'to chase a clue. or to trail':.
kudhi laggahi ( pres. 2. s. ) 60 16 14; kudhi laggivil abs. ) 92 10 4; kudhi laggi (p.p. fem) 83 12 12; kudhi laggaa-(p,p. enl.) 29 14 11, 92 3 3. | kudhisbrsthe pascal(gl.); cf. kudho-hrtanugamanan, 'followiog up stolen property' (D. 2 62) and PSM. kudhavaya-(D)= anugamana-, 'trailing,
tracing'; cf. kudhe lagg- in the same sense in PC.I.] . 872. Kumta-9 8 11, 29 18 9, 61 101, 69 20 1, 94 3 4 (y.1. kumtha-) 'a:
cripple,' 'maimed'. [Compare PSM. kumta-=hasta-hina-; kumla- occurs in JC. (2 17 1 & 2 36 6) and NC. and is rendered with kubja- by the elitor. But here also 'crippled or maimed' fits in; cf. kumta-, 'hunch-back' (PC. II). cf. kunta- in this very sense in CMC. cf. MW. kunth'to be lame or mutilated or blunted or dulled' ( Dhātupātha ); cf. G. komtiyo-, 'hunch-back'; komt, 'hump'; cf. Kan. kunta-, Mal. kunda-- 'a
cripple, a lame man'. ] 893. Kummāņa- 71 14 7 'faded, withered'.
[=mlana-(gl.); the relevant passage is - uppalu savaņi nihittau kummānau "'the lotus which was worn on the ears was withered'; cf. kummana, kurumana-- mlana-, 'withered' (D. 2 40). Trivikrama notes the word in the same sense and further states that kumm-is a Pk. substitute for mla-. (Tr. 2 1 30, 31); cf, Hi. kumhlana, 'be withered'.]
874. Kuruvimda- 28 12 10 'a kind of grass'.
The gloss loosely renders with sankha-gharşanam. The relevant passage is - "kuruvindu taņu vi jamghajuyaho ņāsavaħlu karu damtihi ". Here the upamāna is the trunk of the elephant; tanu indicates how u pamāna is inferior to upameya. kuruviinda is a comparison for janghaPSM. notes the word in the sense of mani-viseşa- and a kind of disease of the thighs'. In support PSM. quotes the following passage from Aupa pātika Sūtra - "eņi kuruviñdacalta-vatlāņu-puvvajarghe". kuruvida- given by Hemacandra in Deśīnāmamāla as the meaning of kolira- at D. 2 46 and recorded by Trivikrama at Tr. 1 3 105, 57 and rendered with padmarāgavišeşa do not appear to be connected with this, cf, MW. kuruvinda-(L)= 'a fragtrant grass (cyperus rotundus); of. Kan. kuruñji, Ta. kurundan= 'the corundum stone, Spatum adaman. ticum used for cutting and polishing diamonds. This is nearer the
meaning given in the gloss, namely sarkha-gharşanam, 875. Kulluria- 25 21 1 'baker', 'confectioner'.
The text gives the leading ullūria- and kandukī, as the gloss on it.
