अवक्रान्तक (avakrAntaka)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
-avakrāntaka, also °ika, f. °ikā, only in tīrthikāv°, one who has gone over to heretics, a renegade Buddhist: Mvy 〔8759〕 °takaḥ
Bhīk 〔16b.2〕 °tikā. The corresp. Pali, Vin. 〔i.89.35〕, has titthiya-pakkantaka, apparently = prakrānta(ka)
but I suspect that the true original of both this and avakr° was *apakrāntaka
Pali apakkamati and apakkanta are used in mgs. very close to this, and neither ava-nor pra-kram- seems so appropriate.
