DEŚYA WORDS FROM THE MAHĀPURĀŅA
[Gloss loosely renders jhadappiya- with patana- at 8 39, and with prahata at 76 2 10 and at 77 6 11 ; cf. PSM. Vi hadapp-- a+chid-, and jhadappa-- 'haste'; cf. Vjhadapp- occurring in the same sense in C., PC. II, Bh. ; cf. M. jhadap-ne G. jhad p-vu= 'to pounce upon, to santch'; cf. M. jhadap= 'a stoop of a bird of prey' and S. jhadapnu= 'to strike as e.g, wind, sun, demons etc.' and jhadap= 'a sun-stroke'. See ND. jharnu= 'to fall, descend, go down.' Turner connects it with
jhata= 'sudden movent'. See jhadappana. ] 988. Jhadappaņa – 25 4 8, 99 12 5 'striking with a flap or flapping'
[ Compare jhadap pana- in this very sense occurring at JC. 2 33 5. See
Njhadapp- ] 989. Jhamduliya- 66 7 11 (v.1. jhiñduliya-) 'an unchaste woman'.
[The gloss wrongly gives "amlikā, ciñcā"'- as the meaning of the word. It appears to be an error in the text. The meaning given in the gloss can be equated with ambiliya at 66 7 12 and jhamduliyacan be rendered with an unchaste woman'. The relevant passage is nāvai komala jhamduliya 'appears like a delicate unchaste woman'. cf. jhandali- jharnduli= asai- 'an unchaste woman' (D.3 54 and D. 3 61)
and (Tr. 34 72, 475 & 476). See jhimduliya and jhemduliya- ] 990. Jhamp 'to cover':
jhampami (pres. 1.s.) 1 11 4; jhampia-(p.p.) 26 14 9. [Compare PSM. Njhamp-= ä+chaday, 'to cover; cf. Njhamp- in the same sense occurring in JC, SR. Bh. (9 15 10). For the N. I. A. derivatives see ND. jhāpnu= 'to cover'. ]
991. Jhampada- 12 12 5, 66 5 3 unbound, uncombed and unkempt
(w.r to hair)'. [dhammilla-jhampada-- muktakeśaḥ (gl.). In both the occurrences, the word is used in connection with and qualifying a mass of hair. Hence "netrayorardhonmilana-" (on the basis of M. jhampad-, sealed or closed state of eyes under stupor, sealedness of eyes) given by Vaidya (vide MP. I, Glossary) as the meaning of the word appears to be a conjecture. PSM. does not note this word. jhampada- occurs in JC. at 1 16 6 and is glossed as muktavirala-. This meaning suits the context as the relevant phrase here also is - "jhampadiya-kesai" - 'with unkempt hair'. MW. notes jhampada-only in the sense of 'a kind of measure (in music)'. ]
992, Jhasa 12 18 7, 28 24 6, 28 26 3, 52 15 5, 54 14 4, 58 20 10, 60 7 3,
73 26 1, 78 7 12, 78 18 5, 88 4 14, 97 2 9'a sort of dagger, a rapier'.
