Kariya (करिय).—(nt.), MIndic for Sanskrit kārya, deed: iti-pra-mukhā kariyā (n.-acc. pl.) Lalitavistara 168.1, 10; 169.4 (verses). The shortening of ā to a is regular enough, § 3.103, but this form seems, as far as I can find, not to be recorded in the MIndic Dictt.; and it may be only m.c. in this phrase.
