(haMsalakzaRa, haMsalakzaRa)
haṃsalakṣaṇa¦, m. or nt. (= AMg. haṃsalakkhaṇa, acc. to Sheth white or pure, acc. to Ratnach. marked with the image of a haṃsa; Ratnach. cites cpd. °khaṇa-paḍa- sāḍaga, which proves that it means a kind of cloth), a kind of fine cloth, prob. haṃsa-like in one of the senses indicated by Sheth above: SP 89.6 koṭambaka-haṃsalak- ṣaṇaiḥ, see s.v. koṭambaka; Chin. seems to render this word bright, white, and clean (three words), agreeing with Sheth; Gv 495.4 haṃsalakṣaṇa-vastra-bhūtaṃ sarvasaṃ- sāradoṣa-saṃsṛṣṭatayā (read with 2d ed. °doṣāsaṃ°), it is like a pure white garment (? a haṃsalakṣaṇa garment) because it is not contaminated with all the bad qualities of the saṃsāra.
