avavaraka (also avaraka? m. or nt. ; = Pali ovaraka, Skt. apavaraka, which is read also in mss. of Divy ), [Page075-a] a secret apartment or chamber ; acc. to Speyer, Av ii.158.10 n. , a subterranean room . Several times mss. (of Av , Divy ) present avaraka, which might be regarded as a case of haplology or haplography; but twice, at least, Pali seems to read (a)varaka instead of ovaraka: jāto (')varake Jāt. i.391.21 and Vv. comm. 158.14 ( PTSD would understand jāt' ovarake; both prose): KP 71.1 (prose) gṛhe vā layane vā avavarake vā; Mmk 519.27 (prose) guhye pradeśe avavarake vā; 534.10 ( vs ) prachanne … svagṛhe vāvavarake 'pi ca (meter corrupt); Av ii.54.5 avarakaṃ praviṣṭā udbandhanahetoḥ (to hang herself); here text with ms. avara°; 55.7 avavarakam (so ms. , text avara°) avabhāsamānā; 158.10 avavarakaṃ praviśa, and °kaṃ praviṣṭā; Divy 471.8 apavarakaṃ (no v.l. ) prāviśat; avavarake (or avarake) strī prasūtā Divy 471.9 (text apav°, but no ms. has -p-; they point to avarake or avavarake); 479.25 (text apav°, but all mss. avarake), 26—27 (text apav° with 1 ms. , 2 mss. (a)varake, actually varake after -e).
