muzwi
muṣṭi , f. (used in Skt. of the handle or grasping-point of a weapon), ( 1 ) = muṣṭi-bandha , q.v. , grip , a manner of grasping (the bow): (bhagavatā, or maye, mayā, spoken by the Buddha) cirapraṇaṣṭā Śāk(i)yamuṣṭi jñātā Mv ii.77.2, 3 ; 82.2 , the long-lost (bow-) grip of the Śākyas was known ; referring to the young Bodhisattvaʼs exploit of wielding the bow of his grandfather Siṃhahanu, which no one else could wield; ( 2 ) see s.v. ācārya-muṣṭi ; ( 3 ) since rikta-muṣṭi , q.v. , is used in lists of things empty and delusive, the word muṣṭi alone is, acc. to text Śikṣ 261.8 , used in the same sense: evaṃ cakṣuś cendriyaṃ ca rikte ( app. dual) muṣṭisadṛśam (but read rikta-muṣṭi-sadṛśam?) alīkam asadbhūtaṃ etc. ; note that after rikte the epithets are (at least mostly; but see moṣadharma ) singular, which makes the dual rikte suspicious, despite the double subject; and the standard use of riktamuṣṭi , occurring actually in the preceding line of Śikṣ , makes the em. seem called for.
