Sañcaka (सञ्चक) refers to a “mould” (in which the outlines of the thing to be reproduced are inscribed in an inverted fashion), and is mentioned in the Naiṣadha-carita 22.47, 48.—Nārāyaṇa remarks that the thing is called ḍhasa in the language of Mahārāṣṭra. Cāṇḍūpaṇḍita on 22.48 explains sañcaka as mudrābimba, while on verse 22.47 he explains it as bījaka (v.r. vījaka). Jinarāja gives “pratibimbaka” as an equivalent. Cf. Assamese Sāṃca, “a mould”; “an impression”.
