( chāta , adj. , thin ; occurs, tho rarely, in Skt. , as well as Pkt. chāa, cf. Deśīn. 3.33 , with comm. ; Pischel 328 ; Schmidt, Nachträge ; acc. to Pischel , Pali chāta, Pkt. chāa, hungry , is an unrelated word, from *psāta, while our chāta is from *kṣāta; this theory seems speculative. In Mv i.147.2 = 203.17 = ii.7.13 ( vs ) Senart em. cāpodare, but read chātodare with all mss. in first and third citations (in second nābhodare); cf. chātodarī in comm. to Deśīn. , above; also Jm 3.8 kṣudhā chātatarodarīm.)
