(cApodara, cApodara)
cāpodara¦, having a belly (slender) like a bow, one of the anuvyañjana, replacing kṣāmodara (No. 36) in LV 107.4, and by Senart's em. in Mv ii.44.3 (see kṣāmodara). Tib. renders LV rked pa gzhu-ḥi ḥchaṅ bzuṅ ltar phra ba, which, if I understand it correctly, seems to mean with waist slender like the handle (?) of a bow; at least the words gzhu, bow, and phra, slender, seem clear, and suggest that Tib. rendered both cāpa and kṣāma; in another context Mvy 5207 has cāpodarī, fem., rendered rked pa gzhu-ḥi chaṅ gzuṅs, waist (like) handle (?) of bow, or bzuṅ ltar phra ba, slender like handle (?); Chin. waist like handle of bow.
