DEŚVA WORDS FROM THE MÁHÁPURĀŅA
text and the gloss the variant reading kullūria- is to be preferred; cf. kullaria-= kandavika, 'a confectioner' (D. 2 41); cf. PSM, kallariya- for which reference is given to kullariya-; under kullariya- PSM. records a confectioner's shop'; PSM. also records kullūriya- in the sense of 'a confectioner'; cf. kalluriya-(fem.)= kandavikt (PC. II); cf. G, kuler= 'raw flour of bajri or rice mixed with ghee and molasses and used as a
food article'. See ullūria.. 1 876. Kuvali- 32 20 15, 32 27 9 "the jujube tree'.

a whip, rein, bridle'. Both the occurrences in MP. are in connection with horses: Hence kusa- may be something to control the horses, i.e. 'a whip or a bit of a bridle'. cf. also Kan. kuće='a bridle, rein'. For the word cabuka - in the gloss at 20 15 6 see Appendix. See
