DEŚYA WORDS FROM THE MAHẤPURẤŅA
839. Obara— 10 2 9, 12 12 19. 87 9 12 a kind of aquatic animal'.
[=jalacara višeşa- (gl.); Alsdorf notes the reading uhara- at 87 8 12 and gives the meaning 'sea-animal' with a query; this word is not noted by PSM.; cf. ohara, in the same sepse occurring in PC. I & PC. III See uhara-.]
840. Ohaliya- 7 5 12, 70 8 2 'washed' 'bathed'
=prakşalita-, snäpita- (gl.); the relevant passages are -1) "ruhirohaliyadehu" (7 5 12) - 'the body washed with blood'; 2) "vah-a pavahaohaliya-nayana" (70 8 2- 'eyes bathed with the streams of tears'.]
PSM. gives 'soiled, tarnished' as the meaning of chaliya- The suppor. ting passage quoted from Surasumdaricaria 1 186 and Sanatkunāracarita is- "amsujalohaliya-gandayalo". Now in the light of the gloss of MP. we can say in the ease of the passages quoted by PSM., the meaning will be the same, namely, prakşalita-. The passage can be rendered as- "the cheek-region wasbed by tears'. So the meaning 'soiled' or ‘tarnished' is to be given up.
841.
Kayara— 28 2 14 (v.1. kayaruya-), Kayāra— 72 10 6 'dirt, rubbish'.
fedhuli, kacavara-puñjah (g1;). D. 1 11 notes kayāra- and renders it with tynādyutkara-; Ramanujaswami renders this with a stack of grass'. Though he understands utkara- to mean 'a stack', it appears that utkara— corresponds to ukkarada, recorded by PSM., ukkuruda- recorded by D. 1 110 and G. ukkardo, M. ukirda- and means 'a dung-heap, a head of refuse'. Cf. also kacchara-- panka, 'mud' (D. 2 2) and kaccharav.1.Kaccara---kardama- (1r. 3 4 70). Cf. PSM kayavara-(D), kacavāra-(D)= rubbish, dirt'. Cf. kayāra- in JC. (3 14 3,3 14 7 & 3 14 8), Bh. and kacavara- in Up. K. in this very sense. MW. records kaccara-(L)= spoiled by dirt. Cf. also Jain Sk. kacavara- which is a back-formation from Pk. kayavara-, kacavāra-, Hi. katavāra-. Cf. ND. kacar= 'rubbish'.)
The variant at 28 1 14 for kayara- in MB. manuscript is kayaruyaglossed as roga-. In most of the occurrences of kayāra there is no medial nasalisation. This occurrence is unique or may be an error.
842. Kakkhada— 11 13 10 'cruel,' 'hard-hearted'.
Enisthura-hrdaya- (gl.); cf. PSM. kakkhada kathora-, paruşa-; Trivik. rama potes this in the sense of karkasa. (Tr. 1 3 105, 44): cf. kakkhadaoccurring in Bh. and PC.I. There is no etymological connection
between kakkhada- and karkasa-. 1
