-cārika¦, adj. or subst. m. (= Skt. and Pali -cārin, ifc.; see also piṇḍa-cārika), moving; practising: pattra- cārikā ṛddhyā harita-cārikā bhājana-cārikāś cāgatāḥ Divy 45.17; similarly 45.20; it seems clear that the reference [Page228-b+ 71] is to persons who magically ride or move thru the air on leaves, some sort of plants or trees (harita, cf. Skt. haritaka), and jars (bhājana), cf. 45.27--30. Acc. to Burnouf, Introd. 261 note 2, Tib. renders -cārikā(ḥ) by ḥdri ma, which the Dictt. of Tib. do not interpret satisfactorily; I suggest dri bo, magician. Tib. renders harita by śiṅ tshe, ap- parently some tree or shrub. There is a v.l. -vārika, which pw 7.365 adopts for bhājana-cārika, identifying it with °vārika in Mvy 9069, which however means something like superintendent of vessels and cannot be intended in the Divy passage. In Śikṣ 332.4 cārika seems to mean practiser, follower (cf. Skt. and Pali cārin), sc. of a heretical religion.
