Muta
Muta [for mata, cp. Geiger. P.Gr. § 18] thought, supposed, imagined (i. e. received by other vaguer sense
impressions than by sight & hearing) M i.3; Sn 714 (=phusan' araha' SnA 498), 812; J v.398 (=anumata
C.); Vbh 14, 429 sq. -- Often in set di&&ha suta muta what is seen, heard & thought (? more likely "felt," cp.
Nd2 298: di&&ha=cakkhun! d., suta'=sotena s., muta'=gh!nena gh!yita', jivh!ya s!yita', k!yena phu&&a',
and viññ!ta'=manas! v.; so that from the interpretation it follows that d. s. m. v. refer to the action
(perception) of the 6 senses, where muta covers the 3 of taste, smell & touch, and viññ!ta the function of
the manas) S i.186 (K.S. i.237 note); iv.73; Th i.1216. Similarly the psychol. analysis of the senses at Dhs
961: r(p' !yatana' di&&ha'; sadd -- !yat. suta'; gandh˚, ras˚, pho&&habb˚ muta'; sabba' r(pa' manas!
viññ!ta'. See on this passage Dhs trsl. § 961 note. In the same sense DhsA 388 (see Expositor, ii.439). -- D

tenet of the old (popular) psychology. -- mangalika one who prophesies from, or derives lucky auspices
from impressions (of sense; as compd with di&&ha -- mangalika visible -- omen -- hunter, and suta -- m.
sound -- augur) J iv.73 (where C. clearly expls by "touch"); KhA 119 (the same expln more in detail). --
visuddhika of great purity, i. e. orthodox, successful, in matters of touch Nd1 89, 90. -- suddhi purity in
matter of touch Nd1 104, 105.
Muti

Mutimant (adj.) [fr. muti] sensible, intelligent, wise Sn 539; as mut"m! at Sn 61, 321, 385; pl. 881; J iv.76

Muto)"
Muto)" [?] a doubtful word occurring only in one stock phrase, viz. "ubhato -- mukh! m. p(r! n!n! --
vihitassa dhaññassa" at M i.57 (vv. ll. puto)i, m(&ol")= iii.90 (m(to)")=D ii.293 (T. mutoli, v. l. mu&oli; gloss
K p(tol"). The Dial. ii.330 trsl. "sample bag" (see note on this passage; with remark "spelling uncertain").
Neumann, Mittlere Sammlung i.101 trsls "Sack." Kern, Toev. s. v. muto)" tries to connect it with BSk.
mo&a (Hindi mo&h), bundle, which (with vv. ll. m(.ha, mu&a, m(&a) occurs only in one stock phrase
"bharai1 motai1 pi&akai1" at Divy 5, 332, 501, 524. The more likely solution, however, is that muto)" is a
distortion of pu&os! (pu&osa), which is found as v. l. to pu&a'sa at all passages concerned (see pu&a'sa).
Thus the meaning is "bag, provision -- bag." The BSk. mo&a (mu&a) remains to be elucidated. The same
meaning "provision -- bag" fits at Vism 328 in cpd. y!na˚, where spelling is T. ˚pa&&oli, v. l. BB ˚puto)i, but
which is clearly identical with our term. We should thus prefer to read y!na -- pu&osi "carriage -- bag for
provisions."
