[kathayati, kathita (gl.); cf. vajjar = kath-,' to tell' (H.4 2. Tr. 3 1 69); Hemacandra gives » vajjar-= kath- at H.4 2, but notes ~ bajjarin the same sense in the commentary on D. 6 92; cf. N vajjar- occu

Vattuttividi --32 20 5 'a pile of spherical stones'. [vatļa-+ uttividi-. Gloss gives utramdi (which is marked by the editor with a query) as the meaning of vaftuttividi; but vatta- here stands for a spherical stone' and hence the meaning given by the gloss applies only to the second member of the compound, namely uttividi-; the relevant passage is - "vaffuttividi viraiya chaille''-'a series of spherical stones were arranged one above the other by the shrewd man'; cf PSM. uttivada (D)= 'a pile of vessels'. For this meaning PSM. quotes the following passage from the Upadeśa pada "phodei birālo lolayāe sārevi uffivadań". 'the cat breaks with a push the pile of pots on account of its greediness'; cf. G, utrevad-= 'a series of pots arranged one above another'. See ultividi- and utturadi
and vatta-] 1218. Vadda-- 1 12 6 'great.

ress in mild rebuke'. [sthūlabuddhi-, mürkha- (gl.); cf. PSM. vadha-(D)= mūka, dumb' quoted from Sankşiptasära of Kramadīśvara; cf, vadha-= mudha-, 'a fool' (H. 4 422 illustration 4); Trivikrama potes vadha- at Tr. 1 3 90 and renders it with vafa-. It may be the same word as the word under
