कर्णिकाया (karNikAyA)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
? karṇikāyā, in °yā-keyūrāṇi (in a list of various ornaments, all noms.) LV 〔121.7〕 (prose
printed as cpd. by Lefm.). One ms. (A) omits karṇikāyā
another reads °kāyāṃ (loc. of °kā)
Calc. karṇikāḥ
Weller 〔25〕 states that his ms. reads karṇābharaṇāni muṇḍikābharaṇāni (for karṇikāyā-keyūrāṇi? or for the two preceding words? his statement is not clear). Some form or equivalent of karṇikā, ear-ornament, is doubtless meant. Tib. ear-ornaments (rna rgyan) and shoulder-ornaments (the latter represents keyūrāṇi).
