mAtrI
mātrī , adj. f. (to m. *mātra, from Skt. mātṛ plus a?), of the mother, maternal : (svaka-svakā yeva) mātrīyo bhaginīyo parasparasya vivāhitā Mv i.351.4 , (the princes) gave to each other in marriage each their own sisters by the same mother (thus avoiding the marriage of any with his co-uterine sister). So the Tib. version cited by Senart p. 625 ; Senart misunderstands the Skt. text; he reads mātṛyo with v.l. (and with both mss. line 8 below), but this can only be a corruption. The Pali adj. mātiya which he cites is not known to PTSD ; Childers cites it with no textual reference; even if a genuine Pali word, it can hardly be concerned here.
