भित्वर (bhitvara)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
bhit(t)vara, adj., ruined, broken-down: (of a house, ) read bhitvara (with ms. Ḱ) or °ru (with 3 mss., KN) in SP 〔85.4〕 (vs), for durbalam of both edd., which the preceding and parallel sudurbalaṃ makes improbable
Tib. ḥjig (ñe) supports a form of bhid-
read for the next word bhairavaṃ, with all Nep. mss. of KN, also Ḱ, and Tib. ḥjigs, for KNʼs em. itvara
this word (q.v.) is inappropriate here, yet similar enough in mg. to have helped in the creation of bhit(t)vara, as if bhid- plus tvara, modelled on i-tvara and Skt. ga-tvara
the latter has a mg. virtually identical with that required here. Is this the word intended by vidvarena (vi = bhi repeatedly here) in Dutreuil, C fragm. 〔XIIIvo〕, for which Pali SN 〔i.131.11〕 has bhindanena, v.l. °rena? See Barua and Mitra 〔211, 213〕.
