Puñcikat!
Puñcikat! is wrong reading at Dhs 1059 in ta*h! para- phrase (pattern 1 Nd2 ta*h!) for mucchañcikat!. The
readings of id. p. are puñcikat! Dhs 1136, 1230; Vbh 351, 361 (v. l. pucchañji˚); mucchañci˚ at Nd1 8 (v. l.
BB mucchañji˚, SS suvañci˚); Nd2 p. 152 (v. l. BB pucchiñci˚, SS pupañci˚); pucchañjikat! VbhA 477. The
translation of Dhs gives "agitation" as meaning. The C. (DhsA 365) reads puñcikBt! (vv. ll. puñca' vikat!;
pucañcikaka; pucchakat!) and connects it with puccha' c!leti (wagging of a dog's tail, hence "agitation");
Expositor ii.470 gives "fluster." The C. on Vbh (VbhA 477) expls as "l!bhan' âl!bhanaka -- &&h!ne vedhan!
kampan! n"cavuttat!," thus "agitation."
