(mozaDarma, moza-Darma)
moṣa-dharma¦, adj. or subst. (Bhvr. or Karmadh.? = Pali mosa-dhamma, by ‘false’ Sktism; Pali mosa is quasi-vṛddhi formation to Pali musā = Skt. mṛṣā; § 3.68), (of) deceptive quality: Śikṣ 261.8 evaṃ cakṣuś cendriyaṃ ca rikte muṣṭisadṛśam (but prob. read rikta-muṣṭi°, see muṣṭi 3)…tucchaṃ mṛṣā-moṣadharme (dual? two things that have, or are, false and delusive qualities? but all other epithets except the very doubtful rikte are sg.!) bālopalāpanaṃ…; Dbh 43.6 (sarvasaṃskṛtaṃ) riktaṃ tucchaṃ mṛṣā-moṣadharmā-visaṃvādakaṃ (so text; note suggests °dharmaṃ vi°; possibly °dharmā, pl., though subject is sg., false and deceptive qualities or states?) bālālāpanam (read bālollāp°); note that once in Pali, AN v.84.24--25, musā immediately precedes mosadhammā (kāmā…tucchā musā mosa°, so printed), and should perhaps be regarded as cpd. with it.
