(v.l. kaṇḍ°, but no v.l. in Mironov), [Page176-b+ 71] Mvy 8783, defined by Tib. smad ḥchal, which is reported to mean prostitution, dissoluteness (and Jap. one who frequents prostitutes); MSV iv.68.11. But Chin. one who is defective in the lower parts; and the surrounding terms in Mvy and MSV (khañja, khela, kāṇa, etc.) are all adjectives referring to physical deformities, thus supporting the Chin. The Tib. word smad means lower, and may be used of the lower limbs; ḥchol (ḥchal) ba may mean to be confused, deranged.
