दद्रुल (dadrula)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
dadrula, dardura (dardara), dardula, dradula, adj. (all these spellings recorded in the mss.
cf. Skt. dadruṇa, adj., Schmidt, Nachträge
from the noun Skt. dadru, Pali and AMg. daddu, a skin disease variously alleged to be leprosy or ringworm), afflicted with a skin-disease, leprosy or ringworm(?), in a list of adj. describing physical deformities, see quotations s.v. khoḍa, lame. Senartʼs readings vary and are not always related to the wildly varying readings of the mss., which I quote: Mv 〔ii.150.9〕 darduro, dardaro
〔152.3〕 dradulo (only one ms.)
〔153.19〕 dadrulaṃ, dradulaṃ
〔156.12〕 dadrulaṃ, (da)rdulaṃ.
