kāpotaka, m., acc. to Tib. (phug ron) = Skt. kapota(ka), pigeon: LV 〔248.20〕 (prose) sārasikāpotaka-saṃdaṃśikotsṛṣṭasaṃprakṣālakaiḥ (of a certain type of ascetics, or their practices, in a list of such types). The ā is strange, and I am not sure that we should not divide sārasikāpotaka, the young of female cranes
but Tib. is very clear. (AMg. kāvoya, a type of ascetics, and kāvoyā, ‘taking food with great care, like pigeons, Ratnach., seem not to be relevant here.) Foucaux: qui mangent, après lʼavoir lavé, ce qui, mordu par les grues et les pigeons, en a été refeté
so Tib.
