निष्पुल (niSpula)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
? niṣpula, nt. (Mironov niṣphalam, v.l. niṣpulam, nippulam
Kyoto ed. has the same vv.ll.), acc. to one Tib. gloss, sñigs ma med pa, without impurity (sediment) Mvy 〔7635〕
so one Chin. interpretation
precedes apagataphalguḥ (see phalgu), of similar mg.
AMg. pula is cited Ratnach. 〔v.73〕 as meaning tumour, but whether it is connected with our word does not appear
another Tib. gloss is śin tu (or, te) med pa, which would seem to mean completely non-existent (unless we should em. śin tu or te to śiṅ tog, fruit, in which case the cpd. would mean without fruit, niṣphala). Very obscure.
