Englishpurima-kāraka, m., °kā(ḥ) n. pl., some sort of artisan or tradesman, in a list of occupations: Mv 〔iii.113.14〕
〔443.1〕 (so without v.l. both times, except one ms. in 〔443.1〕 °kārā). What makers of purima means is not clear, but this word can hardly be identified with the adj. purima. [Page348-b] It is prob. connected with AMg. purima as cited by Sheth (as a Deśī word) from Ohaṇijjutti 〔265〕 (I have not found it in Ratnach.) cha ppurimā nava khoḍā
the word khoḍa = cleansing a part of a garment (see Ratnach. s.v.), and Sheth says purima, like khoḍa, is a part of the Jain cleansing ceremony, (prasphoṭana or) pratilekhana. If cleaning is the mg., our cpd. would perhaps mean professional cleaners (of clothes). I have no access to the Ohaṇijjutti.
