Spoken Sanskrit
Englishखड्गविषाण - khaDgaviSANa - - rhinoceros
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
Englishkhaḍga-viṣāṇa, rhinoceros
-kalpa, adj. (= Pali khagga-visāṇa-kappa), like a rhinoceros, i.e. living a lonely life
esp. (as in Pali) ep. of a Pratyekabuddha: Mvy 〔1006〕
Divy 〔582.8〕
ekacarā °kalpā Mv 〔i.301.4〕, and in a vs 〔357.15〕, otherwise eko care °kalpo 〔21 ff.〕, or ekaś caret °kalpaḥ Divy 〔294.15〕, refrain of the stanzas of Pali Sn 〔i.3〕 (vss 35—75: eko care khagga-visāṇakappo), a number of which are reproduced in Mv 〔i.357.12—359.15〕, and one in Divy l. c.
they are designated khaḍgaviṣāṇa-gāthāḥ Mv 〔i.359.16〕. Since Skt. khaḍga and Pali khagga mean rhinoceros, the Pali comm. on Sn paraphrases kh°-visāṇa by rhinoceros-horn. But actually the cpd. means rhinoceros, = Skt. khaḍgin, originally having a sword (-like) horn. The comparison is to the animal, not to its horn. Cf. Samādh 〔19.29〕 khaḍga-samā
RP 〔13.7〕 khaḍga-vimalāḥ [Page203-a] (cited Śikṣ 〔196.4〕 as khaḍga-sadṛśāḥ)
RP 〔16.7〕 (vs) eka viharati yathaiva khaḍgo. In all these khaḍga is the precise equivalent of khaḍgaviṣāṇa (and khaḍgin), rhinoceros.
