Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid

English

 keśoṇḍuka,  m. and nt. (recorded once,  erroneously,  as °ṇḍraka,  in Skt.,  pw,  defined as ringförmige Lichterscheinungen vor geschlossenen Augen),  also °ḍu,  and v.l. °ḍaka,  apparently primarily hair-net or the like
 this lit. mg. apparently in Bcṭ 〔245.3〕 °ka-maṇḍitam
 standardly used as a symbol of unreality,  prob. with mg. as cited from pw above: °ḍukaḥ (so also Mironov
 v.l. in both °ḍakaṃ) Mvy 〔2836〕,  among synonyms for māyā
 frequent in Laṅk,  e.g. 〔168.5〕 (cited MadhK 〔262.2〕) keśoṇḍukaṃ yathā mithyā gṛhyate taimirair (MadhK °rikair,  unmetr.) janaiḥ (vs)
 〔96.5〕 skandhāḥ keśoṇḍukākārāḥ
 〔17.6〕 °kasvabhāvāvasthitānām
 〔72.6〕 and 〔82.1〕 °ka-prakhyā(ḥ),  etc. Suzuki regularly renders hair-net,  but this in its literal sense does not fit.
