आसेवक (Asevaka)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
āsevaka, or °kā, some kind of garment: SP 〔283.9〕 (vs), cited Śikṣ 〔352.13〕, āsevaka (unmetr.! one ms. and Śikṣ °kaṃ
WT with most mss. °kāṃ
Kashgar rec. °kā) kṛsna tathādaditvā. Tib. acc. to Bendall rdul gzan, dust garment (Jä. cloak, against dust on a journey), but acc. to WT, and my own copy of Tib. SP, rṅul gzan, which = saṃkakṣikā, q.v.
Burnouf and Kern woolen garment
note that Tib. rdul and rṅul are very easily confused in writing
in MSV 〔ii.52.5〕 āsevaka (ms., ed. em. āsīvaka) seems to mean patch (so Tib., lhan thabs kyis klan pa)
in the next line, 6, sevakaṃ (ms., ed. em. sīv°) dattvā dhāraya, seems to show the same mg., and in 11 below, text āsīvakāṃs (by em.? ms. āsev° as before?) tu dattvā dhārayitvayam, confirms this mg. (reference is to materials unsuitable for making robes).
