Englishsālambha, m. (may be specialized use of sārambha = Pali id., which so far as I know is not recorded of physical fighting
in some LV mss. v.l. sār° occurs sometimes for this), app. (contest of) wrestling: °bhaḥ Mvy 〔4998〕 = Tib. gyad kyi ḥdzin staṅs, lit. an athleteʼs style (or posture) of grasping, Das = saṃgrāho mallasya, saṃlambha (! not recorded elsewhere
prob. Dasʼs ‘correction’ for sāl°), ‘the mode of seizing in wrestling’: (in lists of arts) asi-dhanu(ṣ)kalāpa-yuddha-sālambha- LV 〔4.21〕
〔143.6〕
〔144.8〕
in all these Tib. as on Mvy above, and so also for °bha-(dhanurvede) LV 〔156.9〕
that wrestling is meant seems confirmed by LV 〔152.10 ff.〕, in which the Bodhisattva defeats the Śākya youths in what can only be wrestling (cf. esp. 〔152.18—20〕)
our word occurs there several times, Śākyakumārāḥ sālambhāya sthitāḥ 〔152.11〕, stood ready for wrestling
similarly abhigatau °bhāya 12
°bhāyāgacchata 22
here, [Page594-a] however, Tib. renders always by brgal ba (once preceded by stobs, force), a general word for fight.
