piṇḍapāta, m. (see pāta), or °pātra (the latter very often, esp. in mss., tho editors often em., cf. Speyer Av 〔i.13 note 1〕
Index to Divy suggests two different words, ‘often confused’, but note that even in the cliché list of [Page345-a] pariskāra, q.v., piṇḍapāta occurs as always in Pali, beside °pātra, the latter e.g. Suv 〔112.9〕
Śikṣ 〔41.18〕
Sukh 〔27.1〕
LV 〔2.22〕
also mss. at Av 〔i.13.4〕 et alibi, Speyer, note ad loc.
it seems that both forms mean simply alms-food (-attainment, put into a monkʼs bowl), as is quite obvious in Pali, see Childers and PTSD, and in some BHS passages
the BHS °pātra was doubtless due to popular etym., association with pātra = Pali patta, bowl
tho secondary and unoriginal it occurs so often that it seems probably to have been used in BHS tradition, by the side of °pāta), food thrown into a monkʼs almsbowl
