पुडिनी (puDinI)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
puḍinī, pool: puḍinī-puṣkariṇīṣu LV 〔193.20〕 (vs), in pools and lakes, Tib. rdziṅ (pool) daṅ rdziṅ chen (large pool, = puṣkariṇī)
ke cāgatāḥ puḍinī (acc. pl.) gṛhītvā LV 〔298.3〕 (vs), and some (Bodhisattvas) came (to honor the Buddha) bringing (magically) pools
so Foucaux
the whole scene is full of magic marvels, of which this is not less natural than some others. Etym. obscure
cf. Pkt. (Deśī) puḍaiṇī = puṭakinī, lotus (?), or Skt. pulina ?
