Life and Stories of Pārçvanātha
çironyuñchanaka, 6. 1188, possibly, 'some kind of arrangement of the hair of the head':
prstāu ca cakriņā kini bho ihāgamanakāraṇam,
kevalam tāu dhunītaḥ sma çironyunchanakaṁ kila, 'And when the emperor asked them: “Why, gentlemen, have you come here?” they merely shook. ... This passage is wanting in the corresponding places, Kathākoça, p. 35, middle, and in the Prākrit version, Jacobi, Ausgewählte Erzählungen, p. 27, l. 5. Rāuhiņeya Carita, stanza 122, describes the following little ceremony which the mother of the thief Rāuhiņeya undertakes in honor of his first theft:
nyuñchanāni vidhāyāçu pradīpam saptavartibhiḥ,
vidhāya tilakaṁ mātā putrāyety āçişaṁ dadāu. utpāņika, apparently, 'open-handed,'liberal,' 2. 913.
kaņālīka, in darçanīya-kaņālīka, 1. 627. Glossed, kaņālīkam uccaşilpam api. Seems to refer to some part of a Jaina temple.
herayitvā, in herayitvā şaņmāsām, perhaps, 'waiting.' niropa, apparently, “instruction,' advice,' 7. 171.

cāurārpaka, and kāņakakrayin, 8. 247. Two of the seven kinds of thief, listed in a versus memorialis, see p. 217.
kāndavikāyate, apparently from kändavika, “baker,' 6. 362. Unintelligible in its connection.
pradīpa, in the compound pradīpa-sarşapāu seems to be the name of some small useful grain, 1. 679; see p. 213.
indrāvāruņi-phala, 'some kind of fruit,' 3. 493. See p. 215.
