Englishjitam, apparently interj. or particle, chiefly in phrase: api hi jitaṃ Mv 〔ii.126.9〕
〔iii.181.14〕
〔206.10, 12〕
〔209.12〕
this seems to be an expression of astonishment, something like Whoʼd have thought it? That beats all! Once, in Mv 〔iii.286.1〕, jitaṃ (v.l. jidaṃ) occurs by itself
the daughters of Māra, reporting to Māra, say: (any other man than the Bodhisattva, seeing us, ) so jitaṃ mūrchitvā prapatiṣyad vā … cittakṣayaṃ vā prāpuṇe (but the B. was unmoved)
here too astonishment might be the connotation of the particle
he, good heavens! would have fallen down fainting …, or lost his wits. No etymology is apparent for the word.
