Kattaliyā -
Guj, kātlī (written kätali) - a piece, consisting of the portion between the two joints in the stalk of sugar-cane, juvār, bājrā etc.
khada-pūlaya- Guj. khad no pulo - 'a bundle of grass'.

dhijjaiya : Besides the literal sense, the artificial etymological connection with Sk. dvijatika- is also implied.
phettā : 'Stroke'. We previously have noted its occurrence from Agastyasimha's cūrni on the Dasakāliya-sutta (Ed. Muni Punyavijaya, Prakrit Text Society Series, no. 17) in the following passage (p. 105, 1. 28); elao simgena phettäe vā ähanejjä 'or a ram may strike with his horns or deal
