Englishkahāpaṇa (= Pali id., for Skt. kārṣāpaṇa, a coin), only in °ṇa-māṃsika, nt., or °kā, f., or °kaṃ, adv. (so read for Senartʼs text °māsikaṃ, see esp. the ms. reading at 〔iii.260.14〕), cutting from the body pieces of flesh the size of a small coin, a form of torture, called in Pali kahāpaṇaka: Mv 〔iii.258.18〕 (kāmaṃ) khalu me śākyā kāyaṃ tīkṣṇena śastreṇa kahāpaṇa-māṃsikaṃ (°kāṃ?) pi chindetsuḥ
in Pali lists of tortures, e.g. MN 〔i.87.16〕, kahāpaṇakaṃ [Page175-a] is regularly preceded by balisa-maṃsikaṃ (baḷ°), see s.v. biliśa-
in Mv 〔iii.260.14〕, verse version of the same passage, Senart reads kahāpaṇa-, but the single ms. obviously read kārṣāpaṇa-māṃsikaṃ (°kāṃ?), i.e. the Sktized form
see this, and kārṣāpaṇa-chedikam, another expression for the same.
