Entry 11371, Page 413, Col. 2
(BrENgarika, BrENgarika)
bhraiṅgarika¦, m., some sort of cook (followed by sūpakāra): Mvy 3767 = Tib. phyag tshaṅs (or phyag tshaṅ, = cook, Das) skyems (drink) mal (place?) ba; BR doubtfully suggest derivation from *bhriṅgāra for bhṛṅgāra, water-pot (note difference of quantity of the vowel in the second syllable). Chin. seems to mean preparer of seats and beds.
