P. chuddha) to shake or throw about, only in phrase odhunāti nidhunāti nicchodeti at S. III, 155=M. I, 229= 374=A. III, 365, where S has correct reading (v. l. °choṭeti); M has °chādeti (v. l. °chodeti); A has °chedeti (v. l. °choreti, °chāreti; gloss nippoṭeti). The C. on A. III, 365 has: nicchedetī ti bāhāya vā rukkhe vā paharati.—nicchedeti (chid) is pardonable because of Prk. chollai “to cut. ” Cp. also nicchubhati with v. l. BB nicchurāti.
