Geṇḍuka a ball for playing. The Sinhalese mss spelling is in all places bheṇḍuka, which has been taken into the text by the editors of Ja and As The misspelling is due to a misreading of Sinhalese bh > g; cf. spelling parābhetvā for parāgetvā. — bheṇḍukena kīḷi Ja IV 30; bhūmiyaṃ pahata-bheṇḍuka (striking against the ground) Ja IV 30; Vism 143 (pahaṭa-citra°) = As 116 (where wrongly pahaṭṭha-citta-bheṇḍuka); Ja V 196 (citra-bh°); Dhp-a III 364.
