kiṭika (4855)

kiṭika
Entry 4855, Page 183, Col. 1

(kiwika, kiwika)
? kiṭika¦, m. or nt.: Divy 374.7 (prose) pañcastrīśatāni kiṭikaiḥ saṃveṣṭya dagdhāni.(Burnouf, Intr. 365 note 1, conjectures kāṣṭ[h]akaiḥ, implausibly.) Perhaps same word as Pali kiṭaka, in Pv. i.9.2 and 4, something (acc. to comm. [hot] copper plates) into which the clothing of the petas is changed; thus it fits the Divy passage. There is also a Pali kiṭika, Vin. ii.152.26 and 153.5, perhaps also some sort of covering, but very obscure; comm. re- peats it without glossing.
