English
nirargaḍa,
(1) adj. (= Skt. °la, Pali niraggaḷa), unimpeded, used as ep. of sacrifices in Skt. (among other ways), and so here apparently: yajñā nirargaḍa LV 〔341.5〕 (vs)
°ḍa-sarva-yajña- 〔432.17〕 (prose)
°ḍa-yajñāḥ Mvy 〔2867〕 (but here could have mg. 2)
(2) subst. m., n. of a specific brahmanical sacrifice (also Pali, e.g. Sn 〔303〕
defined in comm. 〔i.322.4 ff.〕 as a specially elaborate and ‘unrestrained’ form of the aśvamedha
Pali Dictt. need correction on this), in lists of brahmanical sacrifices (as also in Pali Sn 〔303〕)
(mahāyajñāni ca yajāhi aśvamedhaṃ puruṣamedhaṃ) śamyāprāsaṃ (q.v., so read for text somaprāsaṃ) nirargaḍaṃ padumaṃ puṇḍarīkaṃ ca Mv 〔ii.237.20〕 (prose)
aśvamedhaṃ puruṣamedhaṃ puṇḍarīkaṃ nirargaḍaṃ 〔405.11〕 (vs)
(aśvamedhaṃ) puruṣamedhaṃ śamyāprāsaṃ (so read) nirargaḍaṃ Divy 〔634.7〕, similarly 11, 18 (°ḍo, n. sg.), 21
not in a list, but app. in this same mg., yajño mayeṣṭas nirargaḍaḥ pūrvabhave 'navadyaḥ LV 〔318.8〕 (vs), I sacrificed a perfect nir° sacrifice in a previous birth. Above, in prose, the word nirgaḍa (2), q.v., is used instead.
