Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English-cārika, adj. or subst. m. (= Skt. and Pali -cārin, ifc.
see also piṇḍa-cārika), moving
practising: pattracārikā ṛddhyā harita-cārikā bhājana-cārikāś cāgatāḥ Divy 〔45.17〕
similarly 〔45.20〕
it seems clear that the reference [Page228-b] is to persons who magically ride or move thru the air on leaves, some sort of plants or trees (harita, cf. Skt. haritaka), and jars (bhājana), cf. 〔45.27—30〕. Acc. to Burnouf, Introd. 〔261 note 2〕, Tib. renders -cārikā(ḥ) by ḥdri ma, which the Dictt. of Tib. do not interpret satisfactorily
I suggest dri bo, magician. Tib. renders harita by śiṅ tshe, apparently some tree or shrub. There is a v.l. -vārika, which pw 〔7.365〕 adopts for bhājana-cārika, identifying it with °vārika in Mvy 〔9069〕, which however means something like superintendent of vessels and cannot be intended in the Divy passage. In Śikṣ 〔332.4〕 cārika seems to mean practiser, follower (cf. Skt. and Pali cārin), sc. of a heretical religion.
