Entry 7234, Page 262, Col. 1

(dardurA, dardurA)
? dardurā¦ (most mss. dardarā), sc. lipi, a kind of script: Mv i.135.7. Senart's note mentions this as one of the forms in the list which ‘ne laissent guère d'incertitude’; to me it is by no means clear. Did Senart mean to associate it with the Skt. name of the mountain range, often asso- ciated with Malaya? As a mountain name. Dardara (rare and doubtful in Skt., but in Pali Daddara) would merit consideration, as supported by most mss. But one would not expect a mountain-name here.
