eluka (m. or nt.),
(1) (= AMg. eluya, threshold of a door
cf. Pali eḷaka, id., wrongly queried in PTSD
DN comm. 〔ii.355.5〕, on DN 〔i.166.5〕, = ummāra
possibly supported by Mv 〔i.195.15〕), threshold: (teṣāṃ …) dvārāṇāṃ … elukā (pl.
Senart elūkā with v.l. 〔iii.228.11〕
in 〔i.195.15〕 both mss. valakā, perhaps to be read elakā in agreement with Pali, above) abhūṣi (〔i.195.15〕 abhunsuḥ) Mv 〔i.195.15〕
〔iii.228.11〕
(2) (= Skt. eḍūka, m., and Lex. eḍuka), monument for containing the ashes of a dead person (occurs as eḍūkān, acc. pl., and eḍūka-, in cpd., Mbh. Cr. ed. 〔3.188.64, 66〕, of heretical relic-shrines
prob. Buddhist word): Mv 〔ii.486.5〕 (prose
refers to the ‘bones’ of ordinary laymen, not religious persons) asthini sāhareyetvā (so mss., Senart asthīni saṃharayitvā) tato me elūkāṃ (so text, but v.l. elukāṃ
acc. pl.) kārāpayesi.tatra ca elukadvāre (so both mss.
Senart em. elūkā°) …
〔iii.20.9, 10〕 (same situation, story told in vss) ekamante dahāpetvā elukaṃ (mss., Senart em. elūkaṃ) mama kāraye, elukaṃ (mss., Senart em. elūkaṃ) me karitvāna … Since Skt. Lexx. record eḍuka, and eḍūka is read only in one ms. in one passage, it seems best to read eluka in both.
