(kAla, kAla<h>1)
1 kāla¦ (adj., black, as in Skt.), (1) (m.? = kālaka 3, which is more usual in this sense and which see), black- head, pimple: Mvy 309 vyapagata-tilaka-kāla-gātra, one of the anuvyañjana; so Kyōtō ed., but Mironov °kālaka°; (2) n. of some plant: sayyathāpi nāma kālaparvāṇi vā (v.l. adds aśitaparvāṇi vā) evam eva me aṅgāni abhūnsuḥ Mv ii.125.12, and similarly 126.17; 128.5; 129.7; see discussion s.v. āśītakī; in parallel LV 254.8 kālāparvāṇi (but most mss. omit), which agrees with the corresp. Pali text kālāpabbāni MN i.80.12; 245.27, but the comm. on the former reads kāḷa-pabbāni (as in Mv!) and repeats the same form in its gloss (kāḷavalliyā vā saṃdhiṭṭhānesu); it may mean the same plant designated as kālā in Skt. (and Pali); (3) (= Pali Kāḷa, Mahākāḷa; cf. Kālaka 4 and Kālika) n. of a nāga king, who came in contact with the Bodhisattva shortly before he reached the bodhi- tree: Mv ii.265.7 ff.; 302.14; 304.5; 308.4; 397.9 ff.; 400.10 ff.; after the enlightenment he saluted the Buddha and invited him to his home, where B. spent the fourth week after the enlightenment, Mv iii.300.10 ff.; mentioned Mvy 3251; Māy 221.29; (4) n. of a yakṣa: Māy 7; 236.10; (5) apparently n. of Asita, or epithet given him (synonym in literal mg.), see Asita (2): Mv ii.37.13; (6) n. of a disciple of Buddha (doubtless intends one of the several disciples named Kāḷa in Pali): SP 207.3; (7) n. of a mini- ster of Māra: Mv ii.409.19; (8) n. of a brother of King Prasenajit (cf. Gaṇḍaka 3): Divy 153.21 ff.; 160.5; (9) n. of a mountain, perhaps = Kāla-parvata (?), q.v.: Kv 91.13 Kāla-mahākālau parvatarājānau.
