Ciya (चिय).—[ = iva, like, according to mss. at Mahāvastu ii.158.7 (prose) karṣakā ciya, like peasants; Senart em. viya, probably rightly. No ciya or cia is authenticated for iva; [Paia-sadda-mahaṇṇavo] s.v. cia = iva is based on an erroneous statement in Woolner's Introduction to Prakrit, Vocabulary, where cia should be equated with eva, not iva.]
