________________ PURE DEŚI WORDS 241 supported by the Sk. word jāguda-= 'saffron' noted in MW. as occurring in Lexicons only and jāguda- noted by Kittel in the same sense. The gloss therefore on 62 5 10 where jāuda is equated with kunkuma appears to be a loose-rendering and really it should mean there 'of the jāuda country'. 983. Jouse-44 4 4 'the moon'. [=candra-(gl.). It is not noted by PSM. Perhaps connected with Sk. jyotis- 'light, brightness'. cf. joya] 984. Joya-19 4 2, 50 10 7 'the moon'. [=candra- (gl.); cf. joa-= candra-, 'the moon' (D. 3 48; Tr. 3 4 121, 20). It is not clear whether the word has anything to do with dyota-, 'light, brilliance'. See jousu-] 985. ^ Jokkh- 'to weigh, measure, consider': jokkhai (pres. 3. s.) 4 5 5; jokkhia- (p.p.) 18 9 5, 83 4 10. (=ākalayati, akalita, stambhita- (gl.); Vaidya renders jokkhai with tolayari ; the passage at 18 9 5 is as follows :- "pai niya-bhuyabalena hau jokkhiu"- 'I was measured, or weighed by you with the might of your arms'. It is not recorded by PSM. For the N.I.A. derivatives see ND. jokhnu= 'to weigh, balance, ponder, consider.'] 986. Jhamkh- 'to prattle, to utter nonsense or irrelevant': jhamkhahi (pres.2.s.) 74 14 4; jharkhai (pres.3s.) 60 7 10. The relevant passages are: 1) "kim jharkhahi nam jarena gahiu" (74 14 4)- 'why do you prattle as though you are delirious with fever ?' 2) "capphalu jhamkhai caídagahillau" (60 7 10)- 'The moon-struck person prattles falsehood'. Cf. jhamkh- in this sense at H.4 379, illustration 1). jhamkhai occurs at 3 29 7 in JC. and is rendered with acchaday, by the editor. But 'prattle' suits the context. The relevant passage is "muhiyai jharkhai"- 'prattles in vain'; cf. jharkh- occurring in the same sense in NC., PC. II, Bh.; cf. G. jhamkh-vu= 'to brood over', Hi. jhamknā= 'to lement, weep' and Kon. jhakta= 'speaks in a droll manner', jhāki (fem.)= 'droll speech; utterance with implied or hidden overtones ; quaint speech' and jhakro= 'droll or immodest speaker'. ] 987. Jhadapp- 'to strike, snatch, pounce': jhadappai (pres. 3.s.) 30 4 9; jhadap pivi (abs.) 16 24 12, 62 15 3 (v. 1. jhadeppinu), jhadap pi(y)a- (p.p.) 8 39, 54 14 11, 74 14 6; 76 2 10, 77 6 11, 88 6 5. 31 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
