maṇḍuka
Entry 11483, Page 416, Col. 2

(maRquka, maRquka)
maṇḍuka¦, m. (nt. ?), acc. to Skt. Lex. (pw 5.262) a kind of drum; prob. read so with Kashgar rec. twice for both edd. maṇḍaka (vv.ll. Nep. mss. madduka, maḍaka, etc.; note in KN says ‘probably to read maḍḍukā’ which is also cited in Skt. Lex. in same mg.) in SP 52.1 (vs), KN vādāpitā…yehi (Śikṣ yehī) jala-maṇḍakā vāpy-atha maṇḍakā vā, cited thus (except yehī) in Śikṣ 93.(11--)12; WT carpaṭa-, q.v., for vāpy-atha, no other change; Tib. for the pāda, chu la brdabs daṅ thal mo brdabs pa daṅ, apparently striking on water and striking on the palms of the hands. That some instrument, presumably of percus- sion, was meant seems clear from vādāpitā, tho I find no record of such a mg. for Tib. brdabs. These noises were made in honor of relics of Buddhas.
