duzya
1 duṣya , adj. , evil , = Skt. dūṣya, which Senartʼs note would read by em. : ye 'duṣyadharmasaṃpannāḥ Mv iii.320.12 , who are not endowed with evil characteristics .
2 duṣya , dūṣya , nt. (= Pali dussa; see also kalpa-d° ), a kind of cloth, apparently of cotton but of fine quality; see valuable note of Thomas ap. Hoernle MR 138 n. 12 (on Kashgar fragment of SP 329.3 ), with examples of uses to which it is put in Pali and BHS (dress of laymen and women, not monks; wrapping of corpses; spreads on chairs, and floors; curtains). Spellings with u and ū seem both to occur in mss. , but editions are exceptionally confusing. Even the usually so reliable Senart always prints (kalpa-)duṣya, but in his Index reads (kalpa-)dūṣya, without explanation and without citing any v.l. in the Crit. App. In SP usually and in LV only dūṣya is printed; Lefm. ʼs mss. of LV often read duṣya, or corruptly puṣpa or the like.
