Karaka
Karaka1 [Etymology unknown. The Sanskrit is also karaka, and the medieval ko+as give as meaning,
besides drinking vessel, also a coco -- nut shell used as such (with which may be compared Lat. car"na,
nutshell, keel of a boat; and Gr. ka/ rua, 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] 1. Water -- pot, drinking -- vessel (=: p!n"ya -- bh!jana PvA 251). It is one of the seven
requisites of a sama*a Vin ii.302. It is called dhammakaraka there, and at ii. 118, 177. This means
