[INDOLOGY] ucitiḥ ?

[Raffaele Torella]

Dear Colleagues,
in the text I am currently editing all the three manuscripts have the following phrase, forming pādas AB of a śloka:

 saṃbhave vyabhicāre ca viśeṣaṇapadocitiḥ

An obvious emendation would be °padaucitī (the more common aucityam is impossible for metrical reason). Since I am always very cautious in correcting the transmitted readings, I am wondering whether any of you has ever met with the word ucitiḥ as an alternative to aucitī or aucitya, not recorded in any dictionary (known to me).

Many thanks!
Raffaele
