दुष्य (duSya)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
1 duṣya, adj., evil, = Skt. dūṣya, which Senartʼs note would read by em.: ye 'duṣyadharmasaṃpannāḥ Mv 〔iii.320.12〕, who are not endowed with evil characteristics.
2 duṣya, dūṣya, nt. (= Pali dussa
see also kalpa-d°), a kind of cloth, apparently of cotton but of fine quality
see valuable note of Thomas ap. Hoernle MR 〔138 n. 12〕 (on Kashgar fragment of SP 〔329.3〕), with examples of uses to which it is put in Pali and BHS (dress of laymen and women, not monks
wrapping of corpses
spreads on chairs, and floors
curtains). Spellings with u and ū seem both to occur in mss., but editions are exceptionally confusing. Even the usually so reliable Senart always prints (kalpa-)duṣya, but in his Index reads (kalpa-)dūṣya, without explanation and without citing any v.l. in the Crit. App. In SP usually and in LV only dūṣya is printed
Lefm.ʼs mss. of LV often read duṣya, or corruptly puṣpa or the like. Recorded duṣya(m) Mvy 〔5876〕 (so also Mironov
BR dū°) = Tib. ras bcos bu, said to mean calico
