(KaRqa, KaRqa)
khaṇḍa, (1)¦ m., seems to be used not at the end of cpds. in the sense of quantity, mass, large number (as in Skt.), but in apposition to the noun, as separate word, if we may trust the reading: ye cānye parvatāḥ khaṇḍāḥ (2 mss. cited as puṣṭāḥ, ghuṣṇāḥ) SP 355.6, and whatever other mountains there are, quantities of them (?); (2) n. of the chief minister of a king of Videha: MSV ii.3.17 ff.
