Entry 5353, Page 199, Col. 1

<k1>kzampana<k2>kzampana kṣampana¦, nt., Mvy 8965, some article of a monk's equipment; acc. to Tib. ḥur rdo, lit. noise-stone, but as a cpd. sling (for throwing stones; so also Jap. and one Chin. rendering, the other cannon, perh. orig. catapult?). But what would a monk use a sling for? In a wholly different direction leads AMg. khampaṇaya, winding- sheet (Ratnach.); if our word is related to this it might mean sheet or large piece of cloth of some kind. Uncertain.
