Kullaka, crate, basket work, a kind of raft, a little basket J. VI, 64.

—vihāra (adj.) the state of being like one who has found a raft (?) Vin. II, 304 (cp. Bdhgh uttānavihāra ibid. p. 330, and Vin. Texts III, 404: an easy life). More correct is Kern’s explanation (Toev. s. v.) which puts kullaka in this combination=kulla2 (Sk. kauyla), thus meaning well-bred, of good family, gentlemanly.—saṇṭhāna consisting of stalks bound together, like a raft J. II, 406—408 (not correct Morris, J. P. T. S. 1884, 78). Cp. Kern, Toev. I. 154. (Page 223)
