Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
Englishmusāra, musāgalva (often in Mv, nowhere else), musāragalva (the regular BHS form), musāragalvārka, musālagalva (?), sometimes miswritten susāra(galva, °galvārka) in mss. and even in edd. (Divy 〔67.18〕, Mmk 〔120.22〕), m. (rarely nt.), a kind of precious stone. Recorded once in Skt., musāragalva, said to mean a kind of coral (pw)
otherwise forms with mu- only noted in BHS
but cf. Skt. masāra and masāragalvarka (rarely written °vārka), said to mean sapphire or emerald
Pali masāragalla, usually said to mean catʼs eye, but Burnouf found a Pali Lex. source identifying it with pavāla, coral (Lotus 〔319 f.〕) and hence adopted this mg. for BHS, followed by Senart Mv 〔i.415〕, and doubtfully by Kern SBE 〔21.147 n. 2〕
AMg. masāra and °ra-galla, said to mean sapphire
in recent years most interpreters of BHS have left the exact mg. undetermined
it usually occurs in rigmarole lists of various gems (once, at least, pravāla, coral, occurs earlier in the same list, Mv 〔ii.472.1—2〕)
Tib. on Mvy 〔5956〕 spug, a gem which Jä. leaves unidentified, while Das gives as Skt. equivalent (kakkatana and) karketana, said to mean catʼs-eye (cf. Pali above)
clearly masc. gender when unambiguous, as a rule, e.g. Mvy 〔5956〕
Divy 〔51.25〕, etc., but musāraṃ, n. sg., Mmk 〔120.22〕
