 katara,  pron. adj. (see also katira
 cf. anyatara
 used in this way sometimes in Pali and apparently even in Skt.,  where however the cases are rare and not always certain),  which (of more than two)?: Divy 〔102.17〕
 〔308.8〕
 〔371.23〕 kataraḥ (of several) kumāro … rājā bhaviṣyati
 Śikṣ 〔75.4〕
 KP 〔97.4〕 kataraṃ (cited Śikṣ 〔233.15〕 as katarat) cittaṃ
 MSV 〔iii.136.10〕 (read kataraṃ tat),  12. In LV 〔239.15〕 (Ārāḍasya dharmo …) na niryāti tat-katarasya samyagduḥkhakṣayāya,  and Mv 〔ii.119.5〕 (nāyaṃ) Ārāḍasya dharmo niryāti tat-katarasya (so mss.) samyagduḥkhakṣayāye,  could at best (but implausibly) be taken to mean Ā.ʼs religion does not result in the complete destruction of the misery of anyone. But Senart emended to tat-karasya,  of (for) the one who performs it (sc. Ā.ʼs religion),  which is confirmed by Tib. on LV de byed pa,  one who has done that. It is indeed strange to find the same corruption in both texts
 but the em. seems quite certain
 it is confirmed by Pali takkarassa DN 〔i.235.17〕
 MN 〔i.68.12〕,  in a quite similar phrase
 and in a close parallel Mv 〔ii.120.16〕 one ms. reads tatkarasya (the other corruptly taktenasya).
