(perhaps a wrong reading for ज्योतिष्क।)

English
jyotika,
(1) at end of Bhvr. cpd. = Skt. jyotis, light
ajyotika in garbhagṛhe °ke Mv 〔ii.444.9〕 (prose), without light
(2) ? questionable reading in Mv 〔ii.318.15〕 (vs), text jyotikāṃ ca (mss. °kaṃ vā, or jyotiṃ ca vā) maṇiratanāṃ grahetvā
some name of a jewel is concealed here, but jyotika does not seem right
the meter is bad with either ms. reading. Perhaps jyotiṣkaraṃ maṇi°, which improves the meter
Finot, Lap. ind. 〔138〕, notes jyotiṣkara as n. of a jewel. Or else read jyotīrasaṃ (or °sāṃ = °sān)
this is known as n. of a jewel in Skt., and in Pali as jotirasa, AMg. joirasa.
