KarapostA
kharapostā , n. sg. , n. of a yakṣa: Māy 33 . See Lévi 74 , who thinks-postā preserves a relative of Skt. pustaka, which acc. to Gauthiot, MSL 19 (1915) . 130 , was borrowed from Iranian pōst, skin; ass-skin is what at least one Chin. transl. renders; but there is some suggestion of a reading lomā ( Skt. loman) instead of -postā.
