maṇḍuka , m. ( nt. ?), acc. to Skt. Lex. ( pw 5.262 ) a kind of drum ; prob. read so with Kashgar rec. twice for both edd. maṇḍaka ( vv.ll. Nep. mss. madduka, maḍaka, etc. ; note in KN says ‘probably to read maḍḍukā’ which is also cited in Skt. Lex. in same mg. ) in SP 52.1 ( vs ), KN vādāpitā … yehi ( Śikṣ yehī) jala-maṇḍakā vāpy-atha maṇḍakā vā, cited thus (except yehī) in Śikṣ 93.(11—)12 ; WT carpaṭa- , q.v. , for vāpy-atha, no other change; Tib. for the pāda, chu la brdabs daṅ thal mo brdabs pa daṅ , apparently striking on water and striking on the palms of the hands . That some instrument, presumably of percussion, was meant seems clear from vādāpitā, tho I find no record of such a mg. for Tib. brdabs . These noises were made in honor of relics of Buddhas.
