balāhukka?
Entry 10878, Page 398, Col. 1

(balAhukka, balAhukka)
balāhukka?¦ some sort of martial exercise; reading not certain: Mv ii.74.2 jave vā balāhukke (?) vā hastismiṃ vā…(in list of martial exercises to which the Bodhisattva challenges the Śākya youths). Senart gives it up, and I too have been able to think of nothing attractive; for I should not call plausible an em. to *balāhikke, assuming [Page398-b+ 71] bala plus āhikka, Pkt. for ādhikya, superiority of strength.
