sāhasra-cūḍika, m. (cf. Pali sahassī cūḷanikā lokadhātu), n. of a lokadhātu: Mvy 〔3042〕. Cf. repeatedly in AsP sāhasre cūḍike (or, cūḍikāyāṃ) lokadhātau, loc., the cpd. apparently divided into two words, sāhasre, always m., but cūḍikāyāṃ, f., in AsP 〔65.3〕
〔66.2〕, and so v.l., one ms. out of six, 〔105.13, 16〕
〔108.3, 5〕
but cūḍike text with 5 mss. in these four places, and elsewhere, e.g. 〔117.18〕, without v.l.
no reading with cūḍikāyāṃ has been noted except in the passages cited
(sahasrika)ś cyūḍiko (read cū°) lokadhātuḥ MPS 〔31.46〕. The form cūḍ° evidently means small, minor, and is related to Pali cūḷa, culla. Contrasted with dvisāhasra and trisāhasramahāsāhasra …, qq.v. In ŚsP 〔26.8〕 and elsewhere replaced by sāhasre lokadhātau, see sāhasra.
