DEŚYA WORDS FROM THE MAHĀPURĀŅA
416. Mamda- 20 5 6, 76 7 1, 83 10 3 abounding in, full of, replete with'.
[=þracura-(gl.); the relevant passages are 1) "mamda-mayaranda-pumjapinjariya" (20 5 6) - 'made tawoy with an abundance of a heap of pollen or a thick heap of pollen.' 2) "devadāru-mandari" (76 7 1) -'abounding in pine trees'. 3) "manda-mayaranda"- "abundance of pollen". D. 6 145 and Tr. 3 4 72, 778 note maħthara- in the sense of bahu-, 'abundant, much'. PSM. notes marthara, in the sense of pracura-, prabhūta - quoting from Bh. In Sk. manthara- and manda- share the sense of 'slow'. Because mamthara- occurring in Deśitāmamālā and Trivikrama means bahu, pracura-, manda- also seems to have acquired
a parallel sense. cf. Kan. manda-= 'thick'.] 417. V Mabbhis-'to confort, to pacify, to assure or promise protection':

Tri. vikrama also notes mabhai in this sense (Tr. 2 1 30, 124). cf. manbhis- occurring in this very sense in PC. I, II, III. See » mäbhis-.)
