Doubtless as a result of this, the secondary etymological blend-form 办峁迟谤补 occurs often in Lalitavistara, as in 208.13; 283.8; 352.18; 354.14, 22; 355.16; 357.4; 366.8; in all these all mss. and Lefm. k峁掳; in Lalitavistara 290.8, 15; 353.1 Lefm. k峁掳 but most mss. k峁掳. The mss. of 惭补丑腻惫补蝉迟耻 also鈥攕ometimes nearly all of them鈥攔ead k峁掳, as in v.l. for k峁掳 at i.121.9, 11, 12; 122.1, 2. In all these cases there is no doubt of the meaning field; it seems to me that Lefm. was right in recognizing the existence in [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] of 办峁迟谤补 in this sense, because of its frequent occurrence, which the [etymology] in D墨ghanik膩ya (Pali) supports.
