Pavuṭā
Pavuṭā,at M.I,518 is unexplained.The reading of this word is extremely doubtful at all passages.The vv.ll.at M.I,518 are pavudhā,pavujā,paṭuvā,*phutā,and the C.expln is pavuṭā=gaṇṭhikā (knot or block?).The identical passage at D.I,54 reads paṭuvā (q.v.),with vv.ll.pamuṭā,pamuvucā,while DA.I,164 expls pacuṭā =gaṇṭhikā (vv.ll.pamuṭā,pamucā,papuṭā).Dial.I.72 reads pacuṭa,but leaves the word untranslated; Franke,Dīgha,p.58 ditto.(Page 444)
