वृन्दि (vRndi)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
vṛndi, or vṛndī (related to Skt. vṛnda, orig. swelling, mass, as m. in Suśr. tumor
= Pali, AMg. bondi
see Edgerton, JAOS 〔69.229〕, anticipated, as I learned too late, by Lüders, KZ 〔52.106—9〕, with relevant materials not included by me
cf. voṇṭa), body (orig. solid mass or the like): vaḍḍā (see vaḍḍa) ca vṛndi (in this pāda mss. lack 3 syllables
perh. read ca vidyate vṛndi, or, ca vṛndī, which in this position makes better meter than vṛndi, bhavati) prajñā ca te na vidyate Mv 〔ii.249.19〕 (vs), so mss., you have a big body, but you have no wit
= Pali Jāt. 〔ii.160.11〕 mahatī vata te bondi na ca paññā tadūpikā. Senart failed to note the parallel and emended the text badly.
