(bAhiraka, bAhiraka)
bāhiraka¦ (cf. prec.; = Pali id.), external, but in BHS noted only in the special mg. outside (the Buddhist religion), non-Buddhist, heretical: brāhmaṇo °rako Mv iii.223.4; with tīrthya, Śikṣ 332.9; in Pali with -pabbajjā and -tittha in this sense; in BHS esp. with mārga, a non- Buddhist (religious) path, °keṇa mārgeṇa Mv i.284.1; ii.210.7 (by em.); iii.450.9; and read so in ii.30.11; 48.19; iii.152.11, in which Senart keeps the corruption bāhitakena (or vāh°) mārgeṇa, inconsistently (the phrase is obviously the same and must be read in the same way; Senart, i n. 431 and 587, expresses the belief that the true reading is °taka, but fails to act on it in the first three passages above; Pali bāhiraka helps to prove him wrong). For the general sense cf. bahidhānugatāḥ s.v. bahidhā.
