ploti, f., see also next, and -plotika, ifc. Bhvr. (= pilotika, q.v.
Skt. ploti, piece of cloth, so read with Gaṇapati Sastri for plauti of Shama Sastri, Kauṭ. Arth., Shama S.¹ 〔80.9〕, in 〔ii.11〕
also Skt. plota
both for *proti, *prota, from Skt. pra-vayati
note the denom. ger. protayitvā, implying protayati, thrice in KātyŚrS, see BR
this seems to mean having fastened, tied on or in, which implies a meaning like that here suggested for the underlying noun *proti or *prota), seems to mean cord, as connecting link or bond: chiefly in karma-ploti, e.g. pūrvikā °tir vyākṛtā bhavati Divy 〔150.24〕, the previous action (binding-)cord has been explained
so, regularly with forms of vyākaroti, Divy 〔87.8〕
〔89.5〕
〔241.25—26〕
Av 〔i.242.9〕
〔244.1〕
〔246.11〕 et alibi
Mārāś ca Mārakarmāṇi ca karmaplotayaś ca Laṅk 〔240.11〕 (as matters of which an explanation is asked)
-plotika alone in chinna-°kaḥ, ep. of dharma, Mvy 〔1306〕
Av 〔ii.106.11〕
Tib. on Mvy rgyun ma (? rgyun = srotas, stream, continuity
error for rgyu, cause? cf. Chin.) bcad pa (cut)
Chin. having cut off causes
Jap. cut off ties or bonds of karman. Also (chinna-)pilotika, q.v. Both Mvy and Av use this cpd. in a cliché occurring in Pali, e.g. MN 〔i.141.21〕
here the comm. 〔ii.119.19 ff.〕 explains chinna-pilotiko (of dhammo) as having its rags cut off, like a fresh garment (cf. pilotika, 1), but he offers two different, and equally fantastic, explanations of the specific application of the term, and gives the impression that he is merely guessing.
