DESYA WORDS FROM THE MAHAPURANA
488. Nāmāṇaa- 11 31 6(v.1.nimmāṇaa-) 'having the name,' 'named.' 'called'. [The gloss has before it the reading nimmanau and hence the rende ring nirmāṇam, 'creation'; ṇāmāṇaa- is most probably made of ṇāma-+ possessive suffix -anaya- and is equivalent to Sk. namavat, 'named". The relevant passage is - "tanuamgoamgu vi nāmānau " - 'Also (the karman) having the name tanvaṁgovaṁga'.]
