Vīramaṇī (वीरमणी).—[ is cited [Pali Text Society’s Pali-English Dictionary] s.v. veramaṇī as a [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] form for the latter, see vairamaṇa, °ṇya. But the only passage quoted is Jātakamālā 213(.7), where the text reads vīra- mānī, which has nothing to do with Pali veramaṇī. If vīramaṇī exists in [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] I have failed to note it.]
