Utkarika (उत्करिक).—name of a merchant: Divyāvadāna 227.26 tatrānya-taraś cotkariko nāma baṇig…Cf. Otkarika (the same person as Utk°). There seems to be no reason to connect this n. pr. (proper name) with aukarika (okkarika), qq.v., as has been assumed by Feer, Speyer (on Avadāna-śataka, Index, s.v. okkarika) and Cowell and Neil (Index to Divyāvadāna). But perhaps we should read cautk° in 227.26 and assume Otk° as the name.
