Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
Englisheḍaka-rajas (= avi-rajas, q.v.), lit. sheep-speck, a small unit of matter
like avi-rajas Mvy 〔8195〕, it occurs LV 〔149.6〕 and Divy 〔645.11〕 in tabular lists of very small weights or measures
in all three, seven śaśa-rajāṃsi (q.v.) make one eḍaka-(avi-)r° and seven of these make one go-rajas (q.v.). Acc. to St. Julien, cited by Weber ISt. 〔8.436 note〕, the mg. is said by Hiuen Tsʼang and a Chin. transl. of LV to be a grain of dust on the hide of a hare (sheep, beeve). But Tib. on both Mvy and LV says simply hare- (sheep-, cow-)speck (rdul)
to be sure, Das s.v. rdul declares that glaṅ rdul means a mote in the dung of an ox, a small particle of cowdung. But this, as well as the different guess from Chin., can hardly be anything but implausible guesswork. Why should a speck on the skin, or in the dung, of an animal vary with the size of the animal? The Tib. itself gives no such indication. It seems safe to assume that hare-speck, sheep-speck, and cow-speck mean only three different sizes of small particles.
