śīḷa n C In casting up an embankment over ground from which the sea is to be excluded gaps are left over the inlets which run up, and these gaps are, subsequently, filled up and taken in. This gap is called शीळ. v बांध, दडक, भर, मिळव, फुट. On filling up a gap or the gaps a person is appointed to the care and preservation of it or them, and named शिळोत्तरापाटील. Sometimes a stone is, with certain rites and forms, buried at the spot, and termed पाटील. शीळ is applied also to the space across the mouth of a river when it is proposed to cast up a bank over it, for the purpose of causing the river to overflow, and thus to prepare the adjacent grounds for the cultivation of rice.
