दामक (dAmaka)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
? dāmaka, possibly adj. (from Skt. dāman), garlanded, formed into garlands (of flowers), in paryaṅkaṃ dāmakapuṣpa- [Page264-a] saṃnibhaṃ Mv 〔ii.183.16〕 (vs)
so Senart reads, but assumes inverted order of parts of cpd., = puṣpa-dāmaka-, like a garland of flowers
if the reading is right, perhaps like flowers that form a garland. But the text is an em. and quite uncertain
mss. damakaṃ or °ko. In the following line bhāryāṃ ca sadṛśī devīm, understand sadṛśī = °śīṃ, as separate word, corresponding, suitable.
