________________ Footnotes 1. That ajaya- and ajeya- occur also as proper names is beside the point. 2. But in Sabdakalpadruma, ajaya is explained as na jiyate parasiyate asau / ji karmani ac. 3. ackav asaktau. 4. This meaning of ajaya 'who cannot win' can be had also by interpreting the genitive in 'na jayah yasya as subjective genitive. 5. Sabdakalpadruma, by mistake, prints bhavisyati. 6. BR gives one more meaning for ajayya- viz. 'that what it is improper to win (in play)' ('was nicht abgewonnen werden diirfte (im spiele)') and refers to Vopadeva's Mugdhabodha 5.6: ajayyan jigaya tan. It is difficult to know that what could be the subject of ajayya. What could possibly be which Krsna should not have won while playing with the cowherd boys? The whole line runs as - gopalan anvasat kelims tatrajayyam jigaya tan. But since Vopadeva also gives the meaning of jayya as 'who (or which) can be conquered under 26.16 (jerum sahyani), his meaning of ajayyu should be its opposite. This meaning is, however, not suitable in the context of the above line. Hence we have to assume that ajayyam is a mistake, inadvertently M. A.
