KULLAVAGGA.
VI, 2, 3.
On the solid bench their limbs ached.
I allow, O Bhikkhus, bedsteads made of laths of split bamboo ?'
Now at that time a bier-like masaraka 2 bedstead—a masaraka chair-a bier-like bundikabaddhas bedstead-a bundikâbaddha chair-a bier-like kulfra-pâdaka * bedstead-a kulira-padaka chair-a bier-like âhakka-pâda ka' bedstead --an â hakka-pâdaka chair—had come into the possession of the Samgha.
in the house. Waskaduwa Subhati has this in his mind in the explanation he gives in English of vedikå (Abhidhâna-ppadîpika, verse 222), though he applies it to the wrong word.
Bidala-mañ kakam nama vetta-mañkann, velu-vilivâhi va vitam (B.). The word occurs in the Gataka Commentary I, 9, lines 26, 34. Compare the Sanskrit bidala and vidala.
Masârako, on which Buddhaghosa says nothing here; but on the Old Commentary to the 14th Pâkittiya, where all the four words in this paragraph also occur, he has the following note (see Minayeff, p. 68): Masarako ti mañka-pâde vigghitva tattha ataniyo pavesetvå kato-just the opposite therefore of a hakkapadako below. On atani, compare our note to the 87th Pakittiya. The four names recur, of chairs only, in the Old Commentary on the 87th and 88th Pâkittiyas.
Buddhaghosa, loc. cit., says, Bundikabaddho ti atanihi manka-pâde damsâpetva pallanka-samkhepena kato. The first word, bundika, may mean a small bolt.
• Kulîra-pâdako ti assa-mendâdinam pâda-sadisehi pâdakehi kato: yo vâ pana koki vanka-pâdako ayam kulîra-pâdako (B. loc. cit.). A bedstead or chair with curved or carved legs, especially when carved to represent animals' feet. Kulîra is a crab.
Ahakka-pâdako ti. Ayam pana âhakka-pâdako nama manko ange vigghitvå kato hotîti evam parato påliyam yeva vutto. Tasma alaniyo vigghitvâ tattha pâda-sikham pavesetvâ upari ânim .datva kata-mañko ähakka-pâdako ti veditabbo (B. loc. cit.). This is in agreement with the Old Commentary on the 18th Pakittiya in which this word already occurs. Compare â hakka in the Ayaranga Sûya II, 1, 1, 2, II, 1, 10, 6.
