kzatra
kṣatra ( nt. ) = kṣetra, field . Cf. Pali DN 3.93.13 khettānaṃ patī ti … khattiyo (in an etymology), which shows that a popular association of kṣatriya with kṣetra (or of their MIndic equivalents) existed. Doubtless as a result of this, the secondary etymological blend-form kṣatra occurs often in LV , as in 208.13 ; 283.8 ; 352.18 ; 354.14, 22 ; 355.16 ; 357.4 ; 366.8 ; in all these all mss. and Lefm. kṣa°; in LV 290.8, 15 ; 353.1 Lefm. kṣe° but most mss. kṣa°. The mss. of Mv also—sometimes nearly all of them—read kṣa°, as in v.l. for kṣe° at i.121.9, 11, 12 ; 122.1, 2 . In all these cases there is no doubt of the mg. field ; it seems to me that Lefm. was right in recognizing the existence in BHS of kṣatra in this sense, because of its frequent occurrence, which the etym. in DN supports.
