वायुमण्डलवत् (vAyumaNDalavat)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
(vāyu-maṇḍala-vat, adv., = Skt., Mbh. 〔12.6886〕, like a whirlwind: °vad ākāśe paribhramanti Av 〔i.256.9〕 rush around in the sky like a whirlwind
Chin. acc. to Speyer moving rapidly to the four points of the compass
from this Speyer infers that vāyumaṇḍala was taken as the circuit of the compass
but Chin. evidently rendered ākāśe by that phrase, and vāyumaṇḍalavat, loosely, by rapidly. Cf. vātamaṇḍalī.)
