    Etymology 2

      Etymology tree
      Sanskrit मृद् (mṛd)der.?
      Prakrit 𑀫𑀁𑀟𑀮 (maṃḍala)

      Uncertain. Mayrhofer separates this etymology from the above, and follows K. Hoffmann's proposal that the term derives from Sanskrit मृद् (mṛd, “to crush”), but preserving an older meaning of "bite".[3] Compare late Sanskrit मण्डाकक (maṇḍākaka, “kind of animal?”).
