जाहु (jAhu)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
[? jāhu, in RP 〔58.18〕 (vs), printed: dūre jāhu bhujagavad etān (sc. evil companions). Since it is scarcely possible that the Vedic verb aj-, drive (away), is concerned ('jā = aja, hu = khalu, drive them away like serpents!), I believe that some form of hā, abandon (less likely of han, smite) must be involved
the ā might well be m.c. (meter requires two long syllables), but I cannot explain the final u ?). Perhaps read jāhā = jaha, 2 sg. impv., abandon! (?)]
