پīپ (दिवाकीर्ति) refers to a “barber�, and is mentioned in the Naiṣadha-carita 19.55.—The word [徱īپ] is used in this sense in Yaśastilaka (chapter 3). The word occurs in another place in the same chapter, where the commentary explains it as meaning “a barber� or “a Caṇḍāla�. The word is used in the latter sense in Manu 5.85. Kṣīrasvāmin and Hemacandra derive the word thus in the sense of “a barber”—�徱 kīrtyate 徱īپ�, rātrau kṣurakarmaniṣedhāt�.
