(grAmika, grAmika)
(grāmika¦, m., prob. only village headman, as in Skt., and as Pali gāmika; °kā, f. a woman belonging to a village headman's family. Senart [repeatedly in his Introd., on the passages below] understands simply villager: grāmika, m., Mv i.301.8 ff.; 303.12 ff. (his daughter was attended by serving-women, 302.16); Sujātā, q.v., was a grāmika- duhitā LV 265.11 or °dhītā Mv ii.263.15--16; 299.9, or grāmikasya dhītā ii.200.17; she is called simply a grāmikā Mv ii.131.10, but this doubtless has the mg. suggested above. Cf. also grāmika-gharaṃ āgami (in search of food) Mv ii.200.16.)
