उत्तर्य (uttarya)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
1 uttarya, nt., and °ryā, f. (cf. Skt. and Pali uttarīya, AMg. uttariya
perhaps a hyper-Skt. form for the latter?), apparently a covering (for a part of the body: hands, ears, or back), but cf. 2 uttarya: karṇa-pṛṣṭhottaryāṇi stambhāni (!?) maṇiratnakaṭakakeyūrakāṇi pralambitāni saṃdṛśyante sma Kv 〔7.20〕
in Kv 〔30.12〕 in a long cpd. describing ornaments and clothes of girls, keyūra- kaṭimekhalā-hastottaryā-karṇapṛṣṭhottaryā-hastāṅgulīyasamāyuktānāṃ (kumārīṇāṃ)
in Kv 〔78.(20—)21〕 at end of a long cpd., list of ornaments and garments, maulīkuṇḍala- ratnahāra-skandhopariṣvajānika-(corrupt?) pṛṣṭhottaryāṇy anguṣṭha-vibhedikāny (q.v.) anyāni ca vividhāni vastrāṇi.
2 uttarya, ger., in Kv 〔32.17〕 vāmanakarūpam abhinirmāya, mṛgājinenottarya, veṇudaṇḍam upagṛhya …, evidently covering (with a deerskin). Cf. 1 uttarya. As a ger. the form seems inexplicable, unless as an extension of the Skt. usage with ut-thā-, ut-tambh-
is a MIndic uttharya intended (to utstarati, see s.v. uttharati, = stṛṇoti
or to Skt. ava plus stṛ-)? Note that Kv is also the only text where 1 uttarya is recorded
has the noun influenced the form of the gerund?
