छोरयति (chorayati)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
chorayati, rarely (Mv 〔iii.20.2〕) choḍ° (cf. prec.
not in Pali
AMg. and JM. ppp. choḍi(y)a, discharged, released
Hindi choṛnā, let go, release, abandon, etc., see Turner, Nep. Dict. s.v. choṛnu),
(1) clears away, removes: (withered flowers from caityas) choretva jālaṃ (see jāla) jinacetiyeṣu Mv 〔ii.391.22〕
〔392.4, 8, 12, 16, 20〕 (vss)
same passages Śikṣ 〔306.2, 4〕 choritva, but 6, 8, 10 apanīya (ms.
wrongly em. to upa° in ed.)
Tib. cited by Bendall as bsal ba, which can only mean remove, clear away
immediately following verses deal unambiguously with meritorious clearing away of withered flowers, and in Mv 〔ii.394.6, 10〕 choretva is again used, with objects osannapuṣpaṃ and nirmālyaṃ
Senart and Bendall misunderstand
