DEŚYA WORDS FROM THE MAHĀPURĀNA
282. Uppariyaņa - 1 14 3, 31 2 4, 80 2 7, 80 8 12, 85 2 7, 85 15 12
"upper garment.' (eu paritana vastra, u paritanas uttarīyaṁ vastram (gl.); PSM. does not note it; cf, uppariyaņa- occurring in this very sense in JC. (2 32 11) and NC.; cf. G. uparnu, M, uparaņā= 'a small single cloth worn loosely over the shoulders. This corresponds to Sk. uttariya-. Like uttariya-,
in uppariyana- too we have an original adjective used as a noun.] 283. Ulluhiya – 86 8 6 'attributed,' 'found (fault with)'
[=dattam, bharts anabalat (gl.); the relevant passage is -"para-parakkamu. lluhiya-dūsanam," that is, 'when the opposite party was showing its bravery, the warrior was finding fault with them.' Hemacandra records » ulluh, in tbe sense of nis-+p-= 'come out' (H. 4 259), while the D. p. ullūdha- in L ināınamālā at 1 100 has the meaning ärūdha-, 'mounted' or ankurita-, 'sprouted,' Obviously ulluh-is traceable to Sk. ud-ruh- this explains all the recorded meanings in Pk. The gloss is rather free. In the cited passage ulluhiya- is equivalent to Sk, udbhavita-; the word can be looked upon as a tadbhava, if one likes that way.]
284. Uvvell- 'to unfasten, to unfold':
uvvellivi (abs.) 47 16 4, 91 8 8; uvellia- (P. p.) 83 6 9; uvvelliyaa= (p. p. enl.) 62 5 11. [=ekatrīkytya (gl. at 47 16 4), prakafiksta- (gl. at 62 5 11); cf. uvell-= ud-+vest- (H. 4 223) and Nuvvell-= ut--namay- ( Tr. 2 4 110); cf. Nuvell- pra-+51-, 'spread' (H. 4 77, Pāi. 433); cf. Nuvvell- occuring in the sense of 'move quickly' in PC.I and 'dance, move quickly as in a dance' in PC. II and Vuvvill- in Bh.; Nuvvell- is derived from Sk. ud-+veşt-, 'unfasten, open.'] In many of its occurrences Nuvvell- is used in connection with a prekşanaka-, 'show' or 'performance and it means 'gave expositi or recital of' prasarita-); cf. "rambha tilottima sai uvuellai' (PC. II 34 3 8). Here the gloss gives prakațayati, ‘gives a perforniance.' At PC.II 46 1 4 "pavana-pellanuvvelliyamvare"; here the gloss gives 'nartitāmbare'. Compare also PC, II 42 10 7-"gãi vãi uvvellai" and PC. II 24 1 2 - “uvvellijjai gijjai lakkhaņu”. In MP. 83 6 9 and 91 88 Nuvvell- means 'to unfasten, open' aud udvest- would be the meaning as given by Alsdorf, Elsewhere Nuvvell- is generally used in connection with dancing. The glosses like prakațay- or nartay- etc suggest that Nuvvell- means 'to give a dance recital, to perform or give recital of a dance'. At some places
the gloss rerders it with prasār-, that is, 'spreading and unfolding.'1. See Harivamsapurāna, Alsdorf, L., Hamburg. 1936, Glossary.
