kftya
kṛtya , ( 1 ) m. , a kind of demon ( cf. Skt. kṛtyā, of which this may be a masc. correspondent created for the nonce, in this passage which is a list of masc. evil spirits): SP 401.5—6 kṛtyo vā vetāḍo vā … (6) yakṣakṛtyo vāmanuṣyakṛtyo vā manuṣyakṛtyo vā; ( 2 ) nt. , or at end of adj. cpds. , business etc. , in some cases apparently transcending normal Skt. usage; bhakta-kṛtya (= Pali bhatta-kicca), lit. business of food , so a meal : Divy 185.22 °tyaṃ kartum ārabdhaḥ; āhāra-kṛtya, id. , Divy 82.26 nānenāhāreṇāhārakṛtyaṃ kariṣyati, he will not make his meal(s) on this food , i.e. live on this alone; Divy 236.6 , text āhāraṃ (read °ra-?) kṛtyaṃ kuru, get your sustenance ; acc. to Senart , note on Mv i.349.18 ( p. 622 ), used like the Pkt. quasi-suffix -kera(ka) as substantial equivalent of gen. case-ending ( Pkt. -kera is to be derived from Skt. kārya with Pischel 176 ; see -keraka ); Senartʼs Index further interprets -kṛtye ii.97.13 as ‘periphrasis for instrumental’, but this is certainly wrong, since there gītakṛtye pramattā jaladardarake ca clearly means careless in their occupation with singing and the (musical instrument) jaladardaraka ; the cases where -kṛtya is alleged to be a ‘periphrasis for the gen. ’ are also, in some cases, doubtful; in Mv i.349.18 and 350.1 Senart rāja-kṛtyā kośāto, supposedly = from the kingʼs treasury , but the mss. read rāja-kṛto or ( v.l. in 349.18 ) °kṛtāto, and the latter, at least, could be interpreted ( the treasury made by the king ); ii.95.4 rājakṛtyato ( abl. ; v.l. °tāṃ) odhṛtabhāro, having laid down the burden of ( lit. from, away from ) royal duty ; in ii.446.14 rājakṛtye siṃhāsane rājeti kṛtva (°tvā?) upaviśāpito, he (who was actually not the king) was caused to sit upon the throne which was appropriate (really belonged) to the king ; ii.478.10 rājakṛtye ( v.l. °kṛte) mahānase, and 12 rājakṛtyehi sūpehi, as in prec. ; Senart ʼs interpretation may however be substantially correct in the last three, and in ii.113.9 rājakṛtyaṃ udyānaṃ, the park that belonged to the king . Since Skt. kṛtya is in fact a synonym of kārya in some of its uses, the comparison with Pkt. -kera(ka), from Skt. kārya, is apposite. But the two alleged parallels from LV cited by Senart in his note, above, are not sound; one rests on a false reading of the Calcutta ed. , and the other is to be interpreted otherwise.
