काण्डरिक (kANDarika)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
kāṇḍarika, m. (v.l. kaṇḍ°, but no v.l. in Mironov), [Page176-b] Mvy 〔8783〕, defined by Tib. smad ḥchal, which is reported to mean prostitution, dissoluteness (and Jap. one who frequents prostitutes)
MSV 〔iv.68.11〕. But Chin. one who is defective in the lower parts
and the surrounding terms in Mvy and MSV (khañja, khela, kāṇa, etc.) are all adjectives referring to physical deformities, thus supporting the Chin. The Tib. word smad means lower, and may be used of the lower limbs
ḥchol (ḥchal) ba may mean to be confused, deranged.
