citrIkaroti
citrī-karoti (= Pali citti°, perhaps also cittī°, see next; derived by Childers and PTSD from Skt. citta-; Senart , Mv i.444 , accepts this and regards BHS citrī° as false Sktization ; later, he emends the forms occurring in Mv ii and iii to cittī°; whatever the history of the word may be, the BHS form is only citrī° or citri°); ( 1 ) ppp. respected, honored : (vayaṃ hi …) loke 'tīva citrīkṛtāḥ SP 215.6 (prose, no v.l. ); ( 2 ) pays heed : na °kariṣyati MSV i.8.1, 10 , he will pay no heed ; caus. , causes to pay heed, gets the attention of ( acc. ): (Māra tried to distract the Bodhisattva,) na ca taṃ bodhisattvaṃ citrīkāresi ( aor. ; so mss. , Senart em. cittī°) Mv ii.268.11 ; with non- caus. mg. , and °kar° with short a in mss. except in the first passage, Mv iii.282.6, 12 ; 283.2, 7 , prob. read in all approximately: na ca sānaṃ bhagavāṃ citrīkāraye (or °karaye), and the Lord paid no heed to them (the daughters of Māra who were seeking to distract him); the mss. are variously corrupt; Senart em. cittīkāraye; ( 3 ) citrīkṛta in a quite different sense: hastau saṃpuṭākārau kṛtvā anyonyāv āveṣṭya citrīkṛtau ātmorasi sthāpayet (in a certain mudrā) Mmk 400.28 ; similarly, hastāv udveṣṭya citrīkṛtāv abhayāvasthitau 401.20 ; hastāv ubhayāṅguṣṭhavinyastau citrīkṛtau lalāṭe darśayed 401.25 ; punaḥ citrīkṛtau karau, svastikaṃ … bandhitavyam 407.21 . It is clear that citrīkṛtau here applies always to the two hands in various mudrā-positions, but the mg. is not evident to me; possibly made elaborate , by intertwining the fingers (which is apparently characteristic of these mudrās)?
