pawa · masculine & neuter
cloth
paṭa , m. (rarely nt. ), ( 1 ) cloth , as in Skt. , seemingly in very general sense: in Mvy 5864, 9168 Tib. snam bu , which is said to mean woolen cloth (contrast paṭaka Mvy 9169 ); in SP 75.7 (prose) both Burnouf (who reads paṭṭa, see his note p. 369—370 ) and Kern translate silk ; the word is cpd. with prec. duṣya- or dūṣya- , q.v. ; B. and K. regard the cpd. as a dvandva, but it is surely a karmadh. , meaning some kind of fine cloth (see duṣya ); in Kv 81.6 f. (likewise in Mv ii.157.7 ) it also means cloth in general, as used to garb persons initiated in various religious orders, see s.v. indra-paṭa ; ( 2 ) in Mv iii.31.11 apparently piece, fragment (of a stone; cf. Skt. paṭati, splits ), if the text is right: (upalānāṃ) paṭaṃ (so mss. , Senart paṭāṃ) chittvā, splitting off a piece of the stones ; ( 3 ) in LV 315.15 ( vs ) assumed to be a kind of bird, but reading uncertain; Lefm. [Page316-a] vīkṣasva bodhimaṇḍe paṭukroñcāhaṃsakokilamayūrāḥ, with v.l. paṭa for paṭu; Calc. paṭa-; Tib. pa ta kun ta (presumably understanding it as n. of a single bird) for paṭa(or paṭu-)kroñca (the rest of the cpd. is correctly rendered in Tib. ); neither paṭa nor paṭu seems to be known as a bird-name; if paṭu is right, could it not be taken as adv. with vīkṣasva ? look keenly, sharply, at the … ; [( 4 ) on LV 127.17 for paṭopachedana read vaṭṭopa°, supported by best ms. and Pali ; see s.v. vaṭṭa .]
