They were constituted into a guild, and some of them were well-to-do as appears from what is said of Cunda at D II 126; owing to their usefullness they were held in great esteem by the people and king alike Ja III 281. -uddhana a smith's furnace, a forge Ja VI 218; -kula a smithy M I 25; kūṭa a smith's hammer Vism 254; -gaggarī a smith's bellows S I 106; Ja VI 165; Vism 287 (in comparison); -putta "son of a smith," i.e. a smith by birth and trade D II 126; A V 263; as goldsmith Ja VI 237, Snp 48 (Nidd II ad locative : k° vuccati suvaṇṇakāro); -bhaṇḍu (bhaṇḍ, cf.
