- [Childers, Robert Caesar, Dictionary of the Päli language, London: Trübner & Company, 1875, page 204.
- It is explained by Visuddhi Magga in the following words, kilomakesu paṭicchannakilomakaṁ hadayañ ca vakkañ ca pariváretvá appaṭicchannakilomakaṁ sakalasaríre cammassa heṭṭato maṁsaṁ pariyonandhitvá ṭhitaṁ, which appears to mean "Of the two k.s the innermost k. surrounds the heart and kidneys, the outer k. envelops the flesh below the skin throughout the whole body." From this it would appear to indicate some membrane, as the pleura.]
