PURE DESI WORDS

811. Ibbha- 29 23 8 'a merchant'.
{The relevant passage is- "tam pecchivi viņbhiu ibbha-tanau"- 'seeing him the merchant's son was astonished'. cf ibbha-= vaņik-= 'a nierchant' (D. 1 79); Musi Ratnacandraji gives ibbha, in the sense of a person possessing wealth which can cover an elephant together with its litter completely' and ibbha-kula- in the sense of a family of rich nierchauts'. In Jain Sanskrit it is used in the sense of a chief or leading and prosperous bania of the community'; cf. ibhya-- 'a wealthy man' (Supplement to J. O. I, Baroda. vol. x. no. 2 p.
110). MW. records it in the sense of 'elephant' and not merchant'.! 812. 1- 67 14 8 'Goddess of wealth
(=lakşmi (gl.); PSM, does not record this word; cf, MW. i (L)= 'Name
of Lakşmi'.) 813. Vi - 28 36 34 'See ! look !'
[=paśya (gl.); the relevant passage is "ui māi"- 'O mother, look !! cf. ua= paśya= 'look !' (D. 1 86; H. 2 211) also uaha= paśyata- Imp. 2. pl. (D. 1 98); cf, ua occurring in this very sense in Gāthāsaptasati, uya in Lilāvai & Vajjā. (235) & uva in PC. III & Usā. (2 56).]
814. Ukkbaya- (v. 1. uggaya-) 35 7 9, 59 12 6 'raised'.
(This word is used in the context of a sword. cf. ukkhaya-= utkhata (H. 1 67); PSM. notes the word ukkhaya- and quotes in support Supāsanāhacaria; here also the word is used in the context of a sword; the relevant passage is - "ukkhayakhagga ditthā” – they were seen with raised swords'. cf. ukkhaja-= "(with karavāla) unsheathed, uprooted" (PC. I); cf. ukkhaja, in JC. and Bb. and ukkhāya in NC. used in the same sense.]
