ʰٲⲹⲹ (प्रत्ययकारिन�) refers to “that which convinces another�.—In his commentary to the Svacchandatantra (11.197), Kṣemarāja provides the following definition: “Kuhaka is that which causes astonishment and convinces (ٲⲹⲹ) those of limited understanding. It is chiefly magic�. In his commentary on the Netratantra (18.89), Kṣemarāja glosses ܳ󲹰Ծ as: “Deceitful (things) such as amulets of control, witches, etc.�. These glosses affirm that kuhaka can be understood more specifically to mean an astonishing, magical feat rather than its general sense of something that causes astonishment, the latter definition being that of Dhātupāṭha 10.443.
