has taken it as ammathira- and the second member he interprets as 'nada-višeșa-', Tagare also connects ammā with animahirua-. ] The passages in which ammahiraa- occurs are considered below; (1) "sovaṁtau ku vi suihāraena pariyamdai ammahiraena” (MP. 4 4 13)"The sleeping child is being rocked in the cradle with a lullaby pleasant to hear'. Tbe text of the lullaby is as follows :"hohallaru (v.l. hullaru) jo jo (v.1. jo ho v.l. hoho) suhu suahi pai paņavartau bhūyagaņu! ņamdai rijjhai dukkiyamalena, kāsu vi maliņu na hoi manull" (MP.4 4 14-15). (2) "ammahtraena tamdijjai, niddamdhaiyau pariyamdijjail" (MP, 85 7 5)(Krşņa) is being put to sleep by singing lullabies, and contented with sleep he is being rocked in the cradle'. The text of the lullaby here is as follows: "hallaru hallaru jo jo bhannai, tujjhu pasāê hosai unnai/ halahara bhayara veriagoyara, tuhū suhu suyahi deva dāmoyara/" (MP. 85 7 6-7). 3) "Katthai dimbhau pariyardijjci an n ohircu geu jhunijjai || " (PC. JI 24 13 8) 'Somewhere children are being rocked in cradles, and notes of lullabies are being sung'. Thus, in the above contexts, ammahiraa- means 'a lullaby' or a song used to quiet a baby and put it to sleep while rocking it in a cradle'. In the Riţthanemicariu ( so far uppublished) also an mahiraas occurs
in this very sense. 794. Aliyalli-- 12 18 9, 15 13 3, 25 16 6, 85 5 2 'a tiger'.
(= vyāghra- (gl.); cf. aliyalli recorded at D. 1 56 and ariyalli at D. 1 24 in the sense of vyāghra-= 'tiger'; Trivikrama gives allı in the same
