Paṭṭasūtramaya (पट्टसूत्रमय) or Paṭṭasūtramayī refers to a “cushion made of velvet”, which is mentioned as an item of wealth in order to demonstrate the wicked nature of gambling (durodara), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.1.17.—Accordingly, “[...] O mistress! where is that gambling rogue of a son, Guṇanidhi? Or let it be. Why should I ask for him? [...] That gem-set golden vase which I had given you is also missing. That tripod (tripaṭa) with a velvet cushion (paṭṭasūtramaya) which I had given you is nowhere to be seen. [...]”.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
