कार्षिका (kArSikA)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
kārṣikā (or °ka
cf. Skt. karṣa), a small weight, app. = karṣa: Laṅk 〔31.9〕 (vs) karṣo hi dharaṇāḥ kyantaḥ, palaṃ vai kati kārṣikā (one ms. °kam
must be n. pl.), how many dharaṇas make a karṣa, how many kārṣikās (°kas?) a pala? (Tib. however is reported to render kārṣikā by zho, which is one-tenth of a sraṅ, the word used for karṣa in the same line.)
