मोषधर्म (moSadharma)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
moṣa-dharma, adj. or subst. (Bhvr. or Karmadh.? = Pali mosa-dhamma, by ‘false’ Sktism
Pali mosa is quasi-vṛddhi formation to Pali musā = Skt. mṛṣā
〔§ 3.68〕), (of) deceptive quality: Śikṣ 〔261.8〕 evaṃ cakṣuś cendriyaṃ ca rikte muṣṭisadṛśam (but prob. read rikta-muṣṭi°, see muṣṭi 3) tucchaṃ mṛṣā-moṣadharme (dual? two things that have, or are, false and delusive qualities? but all other epithets except the very doubtful rikte are sg.!) bālopalāpanaṃ
Dbh 〔43.6〕 (sarvasaṃskṛtaṃ) riktaṃ tucchaṃ mṛṣā-moṣadharmā-visaṃvādakaṃ (so text
note suggests °dharmaṃ vi°
possibly °dharmā, pl., though subject is sg., false and deceptive qualities or states?) bālālāpanam (read bālollāp°)
note that once in Pali, AN 〔v.84.24—25〕, musā immediately precedes mosadhammā (kāmā tucchā musā mosa°, so printed), and should perhaps be regarded as cpd. with it. See next.
