Vāhadiyā (वाहदिया) in Prakrit (or Vāhaṭikā in Sanskrit) refers to a “small cup of bronze or copper”, as is mentioned in the Vividhatīrthakalpa by Jinaprabhasūri (13th century A.D.): an ancient text devoted to various Jaina holy places (tīrthas).—(Sandesara p. 34).—This meaning does not seem to me to be appropriate in the context of k.58.
