• -āvalepana “smeared with moisture”, i.e. shiny, glittering SN.iv.187 (kūṭāgāra); MN.i.86 = Cnd.199#6 (upakāriyo) See also addha².

The reading allāvalepana occurs at Cnd.40 (= SN.iv.187), and is perhaps to be preferred. The meaning is better to be given as “newly plastered.”

Sk. ārdra, from ṛdati or ardati to melt, cp. Gr. α ̓́ρδω to moisten, αἀρδα dirt; see also alla
