jyotika , ( 1 ) at end of Bhvr. cpd. = Skt. jyotis, light ; ajyotika in garbhagṛhe °ke Mv ii.444.9 (prose), without light ; ( 2 ) ? questionable reading in Mv ii.318.15 ( vs ), text jyotikāṃ ca ( mss. °kaṃ vā, or jyotiṃ ca vā) maṇiratanāṃ grahetvā; some name of a jewel is concealed here, but jyotika does not seem right; the meter is bad with either ms. reading. Perhaps jyotiṣkaraṃ maṇi°, which improves the meter; Finot, Lap. ind. 138 , notes jyotiṣkara as n. of a jewel. Or else read jyotīrasaṃ (or °sāṃ = °sān); this is known as n. of a jewel in Skt. , and in Pali as jotirasa, AMg. joirasa.
