karaṇḍaka , nt. , in cīvara-k° Mvy 9379 , would naturally be taken as box (for monkʼs robe), as in normal Skt. and Pali . So one Tib. version ( sprog , or dprog ). But another Tib. version is sgrog , cord , and Das cites the cpd. chos gos kyi sgrog ma , strings or bands for fastening a religious robe , giving the Skt. as cīvara-karaṇḍaka. Corruption in Tib. ? See Jäschkeʼs Grammar 8 : pr = Skt. ṭ, gr = Skt. ḍ. The Chin. rendering of Mvy gives cord , with the second Tib. (Note: on Karaṇḍaka-nivāpa see s.v. Kalandaka-n° .)
