Muggatiya 159 Muncati
as well as is the comb" in which it occurs. Its origin
remains to be elucidated. Anyhow it refers to an
unevenness in character, a flaw of character. The
passage (with var. spellings) is always the foil. ; catukamyata

Miln; "bhatyat'a' & "bbhattata Vbh). At Nd^ 39' it is
used to explain savajja-bhogin, at Vism 17 & Vbh 246
anacara; at Vbh 352 lapana; at Miln 370 it is used
generally (cp. Miln trsl. 11.287). The C. expl° of the
Vbh passage, as given at (VbhA 483 &) Vism i 7 runs as
follows " :

paccante bahii mugga pakag gacchanti, thoka na
gacchanti, evam eva sacc&likena jivitakappake puggale

VbhA 483 is slightly different, although the sense is the
same. Similarly at Vism 27.

Jataka style.
Macala occurs as simplex only in Np. Mahii-mucala-malaka
Mhvs 15, 36. It refers to the tree mucalinda, of which
it may be a short form. On the other hand mucal-inda
appears to the speaker of Pali a cp. noun, viz. king of
the mucala(s) (trees). Its (late ?) Sk. correspondent is
mucilinda, of which the P. form may be the regular
representative (cp. Geiger P.Gr. § 34). — i. the tree

Maccbati [march, an enlargement of Vedic mur to get
stiff (as in mura stupid, dull, cp. Gr. fiuipdj ; Sk. murakha
foolish). Used in 2 senses, viz. (a) to become stiff &
(b) (Caus.) to harden, increase in tone, make louder.
From (a) a fig. meaning is derived in the sense of to
become dulled or stupid, viz. infatuated, possessed. —
See also Liiders in K.Z. XLn.194 a. How far we are
justified to connect Dhtp 216 mii & 503 mu (" bandhane
") with this root is a different question. These 2
roots seem to be without connections. — miiich itself
is at Dhtp 50 defined with " mohe "] i. (spelt muccati)

Hncchancikata (°aiiji°) is probably the correct reading
for puficikata. — We find puiicikata at Dhs 1 136, 1230 ;
Vbh 351, 361 (v. 1. pucchaftji°) ; DhsA 365 ; mucchaiici'
at Nd' 8 & Nd^ p. 152 pucchanji^ at VbhA : 477. The
meaning is ' agitation," as seen from expl" of term at
Dhs.A 365
(" wagging of a dog's tail." pucchar) caleti),
and VbhA 477 (" labhaii' alabhanaka-thane vedhana
kampana nicavuttata "). — The etym. expl" is difficult
we may take it as a (misunderstood) corruption oi
*mucch-angi-kata i. e. muccha-l- anga-l- kf "being
made stiff -of-limbs," or " swoon." Psychologically we
may take " swoon " as the climax of agitation, almost
like " hysterics." A similar case of a similar term of
swooning being interpreted by Hdhgh as " wavering "
(cal) is chambhitatta " paralysis," expl"" as " sakalasarira
calanat] " at DA 1.50. — The expression mucchaAcikata
reminds us of the terra katukaticukata.

differentiated in such a way, that mufic° is the active

In this case verag muncati would be the same as the
usual verag bandh'tti. thus opposite notions bemg
"
used complementarily. The interpretation " give up
(enmity) instead of " undertake " is possible from a
mere grammatical point of view. L. v. Schroeder
(iVorte der Wahrheit) trsl* " noch sturzt der Priester auf
den Feind"! — 7. to abandon, give up, leave behind
Dh 348 (munca, viz. tanhag DhA iv.63) ; J v.453
(peta-rSja-visayag). — 8. An idfomatic (late) use of the
ger. muiiciya (with ace.) is in the sense of an adv. (of
prep.), meaning " except, beside^," e. g. mag ra.
iraag m. (besides this Mhvs 14. 17). — Cp.
