भड्डलिका (bhaDDalikA)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
? bhaḍḍalikā, perh. n. of some animal: Pischel, SBBA 1904 〔p. 817, fol. 169 b〕
Pischel 〔p. 824〕 suggests dubiously connexion with (ambaka)maddarī of the corresp. Pali passage AN 〔i.188.2〕. He is probably right, but unfortunately this doesnʼt help much
the Pali word is very obscure
acc. to the comm. 〔ii.304.14〕 the cpd. means a young hen (khuddaka-kukkuṭikā).
