AMARAKOŚA liv Amara, though he mentions tāmbūlī and tāmbūlavalli (betel vine) in the Vanauşadhivarga ( p. 286 ). The omission is rectified by Malli. in ताम्बूलं स्याद् वीटिका स्त्री ताम्बूलं मुखभूषणम् । (p. 588) Numerous are such additions that Malli. gives in their appro- priate places. Among words of Amara with doubtful derivations is. viśvasrt, one of the synonyms of Lord Brahmã. Malli. says. that according to Subhūti it is viśvasrk formed by kvinpratyaya; he also gives the opinion of Rabhasa and others who prefer satva forming viśvasrt, quoting the relevant sūtra-s of Pānini in both cases. सुभूतिना विश्वसृग् विधिरिति प्रत्यपादि । किन्प्रत्ययस्य इति कुत्वमिति । ये तु क्विन्नन्तत्वं नेच्छन्ति तन्मते ' त्रश्चादिना' षत्वमिति रभसकोशकारेण तदपाठि विरिञ्चो विश्वसृट् . कमलासनः इति । (pp. 14-15 ) Bhānujī has later confirmed this interpretation; for he points. out that Patañjali has said rajjusrābhyām under the sūtra 'mrjer vrddhih' (VII. 2. 114). The word samkara (dust sweep- ings) is abanta as per the Vaijayanti and ghañanta, i.e. samkārah, according to Visva. .' इति संकरौ इति वैजयन्तीपाठात् संकरशब्दोऽबन्तः । ‘संकारो विश्वप्रकाशिकापाठात् संकारो घञन्तः । (p. 207) The word kikādivih (blue jay) in Amara, ‘atha cāsah kikīdivik' (p. 339), is variously interpreted. Both Sürin and Malli.. take it also as two words kiki ( based on its cry) and divih. But Malli. adds that the word is also spelt as kikidivih on the authority of Ratnakośa: किकी नान्तः, दिविरिदन्तः, नामद्वयमिति केचित् । ‘ किकिदीविश्चाष: स्यात् ' इति रत्नकोशपाठात् तृतीयवर्णदीर्घोऽपि । (p. 340)
