kAwaka
-kāṭaka , nt. , in pātra-kāṭakam Mvy 8952 , ring or which the almsbowl is fastened, = Tib. lhuṅ gzed (bzed) gzhag paḥi gdu bu , ring for putting almsbowl . BR cite the passage with kaṭaka (as in Skt. and Pali ), but Mironov also kā°; no v.l. in either ed. (but Index to Kyoto ed. cites both forms). However a form found with the same mg. in Divy and Av is -karaka or -kara , qq.v. On the other hand, Divy likewise has a form kaṇṭaka , q.v. , clearly meaning the same thing, which raises doubts as to the etym. Cf. kaṭaka .
