शौण्डापेय (zauNDApeya)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
śauṇḍā-peya, also śuṇḍā°, Bhvr., lit. having liquor as beverage, drinker of liquor: (ye, to be supplied somewhere in what precedes) tena samayena Dīpavatīye rājadhānīye manuṣyā abhūṣi śauṇḍāpeyā (Senart em. śuṇḍā°), te tena tālapattranirghoṣeṇa paricāretsu (mss.) Mv 〔i.194.16〕
cf. Pali DN 〔ii.172.3—5〕 ye rājadhāniyā dhuttā ahesuṃ soṇḍa-pipāsā (comm. 〔ii.617.11〕 surā soṇḍā, te yeva pātukāmatāvasena pipāsā), te tāsaṃ tālapantīnaṃ saddena paricāresuṃ. The same cliché occurs, more corruptly, Mv 〔iii.227.3〕
〔232.1〕
in both the word manuṣyā has somehow been transposed to between śauṇḍā (〔232.1〕 śuṇḍā) and peyā, while the verb abhūṣi is omitted
there can be no doubt, however, that the original text was substantially as above in all occurrences (except for the name of the city).
