Kammara 23 Karakara
Kanimara [Vedic karmlra] a smith, a worker in metals
generally D II. 126, A v.263 ; a silversmith Sn 962 =
Dh 239; J 1.223; a goldsmith J in. 281 ; v. 282. The
smiths in old India do not seem to be divided into
black-, gold- and silver-smiths, but seem to have been
able to work equally well in iron, gold, and silver, as
can be seen e. g. from J in. 282 and VvA 250, where the
smith is the maker of a needle. They were constituted
into a guild, and some of them were well-to-do as
appears from what is said of Cunda at D 11. 126; owing
to their usefulness they were held in great esteem by
the people and king alike J 111.281.

Karaka' [Etymology unknown. The Sanskrit is also
karaka, and the medieval kojas give as meaning, besides
drinking vessel, also a coco-nut shell used as such (with
which may be compared Lat. carina, nutshell, keel of a
boat ; and Gr. tapva, nut.) It is scarcely possible that
this could have been the original meaning. The coconut
was not cultivated, perhaps not even known, in
Kosala at the date of the rise of Pali and Buddhism]
I. Water-pot, drinking- vessel (= : paniya-bhajana
PvA 251). It is one of the seven requisites of a
samana Vin 11.302. It is called dhammakaraka there,
and at 11. 118, 177. This means "regulation waterpot"
as it was provided with a strainer (parissavana)
to prevent injury to living things. See also Miln 68 ;
Pv 111.2** ; PvA 185. — 2. hail (also karaka) J iv. 167;

Karakart (for katakata. q. v.) (adv.) by way of gnashing
or grinding the teeth (cp. Sk. dantan katakatapya),
i. e. severely (of biting) J ni.203 (passage ought to be
read as karakara nikhaditva).
