DEŠYA WORDS FROM THE MAHĀPURĀŅA
damañjart of Varadaraja (circa 1600-1650 A.D.) notes amlannar in the sense of 'rice cooked with tamarind or any such sour ingredi
ent'.' Compare ayambila-, ambila- is connected with Sk. amla-. ] 275. Alidhai-86 4 3 'with ease, easily, without much effort.'
[Daklesena (gl.); the relevant passage is - "kamalai alıd hai tena khudiyai' - 'he plucked the lotuses with ease'; PSM. does not record this word; cf. alidhaya- occurring in PC. II. ] aliąhaya- occurs at 26 9 9 in PC. II; no meaning has been given in the Index. But if we take this alīdhaya- to be the same as our alīdha-, then the meaning of the Paumacariu passage becomes clear. The relevant passage is - "vaitthu Janaddanu alidhae mamce ravannae” (PC. II 26 9 9 )- 'Japārdan sat on the beautiful platform with ease.' alidhai occurs twice in KC., the editor gives alīka-as the general meaning. But here also the same meaning, namely, easily, with no effort, with ease' fits well. alīdhai occurs at 10 2 5 in Bh., and the editor has given 'quickly as the meaning. But here too, the meaning 'easily, with ease' fits the context, Alsdorf connects alīdha- with arişta-= 'unburt, safe'; cf.
wris- 'to be hurt or injured, suffer wrong.' 276. „Ukkoa-'to excite or evoke (love)':
ukkoiya- (p.p.) 4 14 11, 30 10 7, 76 9 13, 82 1 8, 84 12 3. (=prădurbhūta-, ut pădita- (gl.); cf. PSM. ukkoiya.= utkopita-; cf. ukkoy, occurring in this sense in JC. (2 23 5) and » ukkov- in PC. II.] The word is used in and is confined to the context of kama-, 'emotion of love.' cf. ukkoiya kāma (MP. 4 14 11, 30 10 7, 84 12 3), ukkoiya mayaņa- (MP. 76 9 3) and ukkoiya mana- mayaņa (MP. 82 1 8). cf. ukkoiya-mayana- occurring at JC 3 23 5. In SR. also ukkoiya- is used in the context of a lady in love. The expression mayaņukkoiya-= madana utko panašilā can be rendered as - ‘who is an instrument in exciting passion,' So 'to evoke or excit (love)' (and not merely produce or reveal) should be the correct shade of meaning. Compare
ukkova-, ukkoyaņa- and ukkovaņa-. 277. Ukkoyana- 51 4 2,60 4 4 'exciting or evoking (love).'
(kāmukkoyana= kāmot padika (gl. at 60 4 4); ukkoana- in this sense occurs
at JC. 1 12 4 where it is split as "mauu kko a ņa”. It should be 1. See Supplement to J. O, I., Baroda, vol. IX. 10,2, p. 702.
