क्षम्पन (kSampana)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
kṣampana, nt., Mvy 〔8965〕, some article of a monkʼs equipment
acc. to Tib. ḥur rdo, lit. noise-stone, but as a cpd. sling (for throwing stones
so also Jap. and one Chin. rendering, the other cannon, perh. orig. catapult?). But what would a monk use a sling for? In a wholly different direction leads AMg. khampaṇaya, winding-sheet (Ratnach.)
if our word is related to this it might mean sheet or large piece of cloth of some kind. Uncertain.
