जम्बुकाञ्चन (jambukAJcana)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
jambu-kāñcana, jambū°, prob. to be read, with two mss. in first passage, for jāmbu° in LV 〔122.15〕 ekā kākini jāmbu-kāñcane bhavati upahatā, and 17 jāmbūkāñcanasaṃnibhā punar bhavet sakara iya mahī (both vss)
the mg. seems evidently gold from the Jambu river, and it is hard to believe that ā in the first syllable is anything but a corruption (if an adjectival form, it should be jāmbava
the ā of jāmbunada, jāmbū°, is justified because that is derived from °nadī with suffix -a).
