Here the editor Peter Petrson has given the word with a query ; the relevant passage in Up.K. is-"naişa dahnivat puffalake kathancit vārayitum śakyaḥ"-this, like fire, cannot in any way be obstructed by putting in a bundle'; cf. MW. pottala-(L), pofala-(Caraka) potfali(L), poftalika (L), pofalaka (Kātyāyani Sūtra) a bundle or packet' and potfali kr"to put together into a bundle or packet' (Caraka).]

The word "ollaniya_" occurring at :88 19 7 is glossed potika- which appears to be a Sanskratisation of Pk. potti-potika is equated here by the gloss with snānasası-; cf. PSM. potti= 'dhoti, cloth for wearing, a piece of cloth (vastra-khanda) Cf. potti occurring in this very sense in PC. III. Cf potta-= 'a garment' (Sam. K); cf. MW. pota-(L) potika(L)= 'a cloth, a garnient'; Cf. also G. potiyu and poti= '& loin-cloth'; cf. Kar. potli= 'a cloth'
