Skt. apavaraka, which is read also in mss. of Divy),
a secret apartment or chamber; acc. to Speyer Av ii.158.10
n., a subterranean room. Several times mss. (of Av, Divy)
present avaraka, which might be regarded as a case of
haplology or haplography; but twice, at least, Pali seems
to read (a)varaka instead of ovaraka: jāto (')varake Jāt.

jāt' ovarake; both prose): KP 71.1 (prose) gṛhe vā layane
