Komudī

Text

Le jour de pleine lune du quatrième mois, Kattikā, ainsi nommé parce que le nénuphar blanc y fleurit abondamment.

The full-moon day of the fourth month, Kattikā, usually found in the phrase “Komudī Catumāsinī.”

The Commentary (DA.i.139) says it was so called because then the white water-lily flowered luxuriantly (kumudāni supupphitāni honti).

Vin.i.155, 176 f; D.i.47; M.iii.79, 80; DhA.iii.461; J.v.262, etc.
