Udañcana (उदञ्चन) refers to an “earthen bracket” (a pail for drawing water out of a well), as occurring in the Anekāntajayapatākā-prakaraṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. I, P. 104, l. 30]—‘Udañcana’ a homonym, here means an earthen bracket, a pail for drawing water out of a well according to the Sanskrit-English dictionaries. It is explained as loṭṭaka by Haribhadra in his commentary (p. 278) on Anekāntajayapatākā. This word seems to be the origin of the Gujarati word loṭo. The word ‘udañcana’ occurs on p. 278, ll. 6 & 20-21; p. 279, l. 27; p. 282, l. 21, p. 288, l. 18, p. 285, l. 9; p. 286, l. 14, and in Vol. II on p. 155, l. 20.
