Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid

English

 mahārāja(n),  (= Pali id.), 
(1) one of the four guardians of the cardinal directions,  corresponding to Skt. lokapāla,  and called by this name Dharmas 〔7〕,  MSV 〔i.255.17〕,  and Mvy 〔3145〕 as sometimes in Pali,  but usually mahārāja(n) in both Pali and BHS: catvāro (°raś ca) mahārājāno or °rājā LV 〔202.13〕
 〔366.11〕
 Divy 〔218.9〕
 Av 〔i.67.10〕
 〔ii.104.2,  12〕
 instr. Mv 〔i.230.12〕
 often,  as in some of the above,  included in lists of other gods
 mahārāja-sthānam SP 〔264.12〕,  the position of world-guardian,  as one of five states [Page425-b] which a woman cannot attain. Pali and BHS differ from Skt. in the names assigned to the four individuals,  except that Kuvera (Kubera),  oftener called Vaiśravaṇa (Pali Vessavaṇa),  sometimes Dhanada or other synonyms,  is the guardian of the north,  as usually in Skt. The other three (in Skt. normally Indra,  Yama,  and Varuṇa) are Dhṛtarāṣṭra (east),  Virūḍhaka (rarely Virūḍha
 south),  and Virūpākṣa (west
 Pali Dhataraṭṭha,  Virūḷha(ka),  and Virūpakkha). These four are named,  Dharmas 〔7〕 (as lokapāla)
 Mvy 〔3146—9〕 (as prec.,  lokapālaḥ 〔3145〕)
 SP 〔4.6—7〕
 LV 〔217.16,  20〕
 〔218.4,  9〕
 Suv 〔64.2—3〕
 LV 〔382.19 ff.〕 (names 〔384.6,  10,  11,  15,  16,  20,  21〕
 〔385.3〕)
 LV 〔388.3,  389.1,  21,  390.19〕 = Mv 〔iii.306.9,  307.13,  308.13,  309.13〕
 Mmk 〔654.21〕
 the four are mentioned as devādhipatayaḥ among the kāmāvacara gods whom Māra perceives as favoring the Bodhisattva,  LV 〔302.5—6〕
 and elsewhere in lists of other gods,  e.g. Mv 〔i.245.8—9〕 where Vaiśravaṇa is separated in the list of gods from the other three
 sometimes not all are named,  thus only Virūḍhaka,  Dhṛtarāṣṭra,  Kubera (with other gods) Mmk 〔434.27—435.1〕
 only Vaiśravaṇa and Virūḍhaka,  both styled mahārājo,  SP 〔398.8,  399.5〕
 only Virūḍhaka Mv 〔iii.72.3〕 (mahārājo),  and 〔84.1,  6〕
 Indro Virūḍhakādyāś ca (-ādya including the other three?) Laṅk 〔367.14〕
 in some of the above the fact is mentioned that Vaiśravaṇa is lord of the yakṣas,  Dhṛtarāṣṭra of gandharvas,  Virūḍhaka of kumbhāṇḍas,  and Virūpākṣa of nāgas
 these functions,  rather than their position as mahārāja (lokapāla),  are exclusively noted in Mvy 〔3367〕 (Vaiśr°,  first of yakṣas),  〔3381〕 (Dhṛt°,  of gandharvas),  〔3437〕 (Virūḍhaka,  of kumbhāṇḍas
 no similar statement in Mvy about Virūp°)
 and,  in longer lists of gods,  also in Divy 〔126.6—8〕
 〔148.18—19〕
 Av 〔i.108.8—9〕
 Gv 〔249.24—250.2〕. The forms of the names Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Virūpākṣa never vary
 Virūḍha without final -ka (also recorded in Pali) has been noted only Av 〔i.108.9〕 and Mmk 〔654.21〕 (here vs,  perhaps m.c.)
 Vaiśravaṇa (see also °ramaṇa) is the regular form,  for which Kuvera or Kub° is found Dharmas 〔7〕
 LV 〔218.9〕
 〔390.19〕 = Mv 〔iii.309.13〕
 Mmk 〔435.1〕
 Dhanada Divy 〔126.8〕
 〔148.19〕
 Av 〔i.108.9〕
 yakṣarāṭ Mmk 〔654.21〕 (vs). In MSV 〔i.258.2 ff.〕 Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Virūḍhaka are said to be Aryans (ārya-jātīya),  Virūpākṣa and Vaiśravaṇa Dasyus
 the Buddha resolves to convert them using āryā vāc and dasyu-vāc respectively
 he then preaches to the first two in normal BHS,  to the others (〔259.2,  7〕) using what appear to be meaningless groups of sounds.
(2) n. of a former Buddha: °jaḥ Mv 〔i.138.14〕.

Vedic Reference

English

 Mahā-rāja,  a ‘great king, ’ is frequently referred to in the
Brāhmaṇas.^1 It seems to mean no more than a king,  or rather
perhaps a reigning and powerful king,  as opposed to a mere
prince,  who would also be called Rājan.
