Marathi-English dictionary
Source: DDSA: The Molesworth Marathi and English Dictionaryōvaḷā (ओवळा) [or ओंवळा, ōṃvaḷā].—a (amaṅgala S) That is in the common state, neither in the state of defilement nor in that of perfect purity. Used of Brahmans. He to whose qualification for the performance of important duties (sandhyā, bhōjana, yajña &c.) ablution is necessary, is aśuddha or impure: he whom simpler acts (change of dhotar &c.) would qualify, or he of whom the sōvaḷēpaṇā or qualification for the highest offices has been destroyed by his touching common persons or things, is ōvaḷā. Those things also which are in the common, i.e. the unwashed and unpurified state, or which have been touched by a person in that state, and of which the touch, therefore, would reduce the highly purified person to the common state, are ōvaḷā. He whose kāsōṭā (tuck of the dhotar) is fallen out is ōvaḷā. Persons and things are ōvaḷā on many other grounds; but of the explanation given few will mourn the deficiency. It is contrad. from sōvaḷā.
