वीणक (vINaka)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
Vīṇaka, Mmk 〔232.10〕 (vs)
Vīṇātṛtīyaka, Mmk 〔19.13〕 (prose)
Vīṇādvitīyaka, Mmk 〔43.19〕 (prose)
all nom. pl. m.
names or epithets of a class of minor godlings
presumably the same class, since the accompanying items in the lists where these are found are very similar (see s.v. karoṭa-pāṇi)
presumably all mean something like lute-bearers (cf. gandharvas ?), but I have no further information
especially -tṛtīyaka is puzzling.
