निशाठक (nizAThaka)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
? niśāṭhaka or niśāthaka, in: kalaha-raṇa-°kā(ḥ) Mv 〔i.176.6—7〕, ep. of Buddhas
clearly corrupt
Senart em. niśātakā, rendering (sharp =) redoubtable in (spiritual) fights and battles. But niśāta is not recorded in this use, and moreover I question such a complimentary fig. use of kalaha-raṇa. It seems more likely that some deriv. of niśāmyati, is pacified, is involved
a caus. to this would mean quieters (of strife and evil). Possibly niśāmakā(ḥ)?
