    Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit Dictionary

    p. 33, col. 1.
    anuvarga (m. ? = Pali °vagga, see below), some part

    or accessory of a city gate: dvinnāṃ varṇānāṃ anuvargā

    abhunsuḥ (sc. teṣāṃ dvārāṇāṃ) Mv i.195.(11--)12. Cf.

    Pali Bv i.14 tulā saṃghāṭānuvaggā sovaṇṇaphalakatthatā.

    CPD interprets anuvaggā as adj., citing comm., = anurūpā.

    But this is proved wrong by Mv; like tulā, which occurs

    in the prec. line of Mv, it must be a part of a structure.

    See Senart's note for a conjectural attempt at interpreta-

    tion.
