सोस्तिक (sostika)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
sostika (nt., = Skt. svastika, cf. Pkt. satthia
in other mgs., Pali sotthika
〔§ 3.117〕), the cross-legged posture in sitting: niṣaṇṇa °kena LV 〔241.12〕 (vs). Despite variants in mss., this is the only true reading, and is supported by Tib. (skyil mo kruṅ), contrary to Foucauxʼs statement (〔Notes p. 156〕
there is in Tib.ʼs rendering of this line no equivalent of narendraḥ, which is read in Calc. and some mss.).
