रणंजह (raNaMjaha)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
raṇaṃjaha, also raṇajaha m.c.,
(1) adj. (cf. raṇa
= Pali raṇaṃjaha), primarily abandoning impurities (so Tib. usually, ñon moṅs (pa) spoṅ ba, or spaṅs ba), but in some contexts, both in Pali and BHS, apparently understood as victorious in battle (Skt. raṇa), so that Trenckner (see PTSD. s.v.) wished to em. to raṇaṃjaya
once, at least, Tib. (on LV 〔304.19〕) renders thus, gyul las rgyal
Speyer on Av 〔ii.131 note 3〕 suggests pacifier, peace-maker, but this is clearly inappropriate to the contexts
nor is Seidenstückerʼs dem Kampfgewühl entronnen (see PTSD s.v.) any more plausible
the orig. and primary mg. seems certain in LV 〔358.2〕 (vs)
〔361.20〕 (vs, here raṇajaha, m.c.)
〔423.22〕
context tempts to assuming contamination with raṇa, battle (but it is hard for me to guess how, in that case, -jaha was interpreted) in LV 〔304.19〕 (vs
on Tib. see above) śūru (nom.) balavāṃś ca raṇaṃjahaś ca
LV 〔437.21〕 (vs) śūro mahā-raṇaṃjahaḥ
and possibly LV 〔116.12〕 (vs) jātī-jarā-maraṇa-kleśaraṇaṃjahasya
in all these ep. of Buddha, or the Bodhisattva
(2) n. of a former Buddha: Sukh 〔5.18〕
(3) n. of a samādhi: Mvy 〔535〕 (Tib. as usual)
ŚsP 〔1417.10〕.
