सिंहासपीठ (siMhAsapITha)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
? siṃhāsapīṭha (°supīṭha ?), adj., only in first half of an anuṣṭubh vs, °pīṭho (or °pīṭhā) balavān: Mv 〔ii.431.17〕 (here printed as prose, wrongly)
〔458.10〕
〔iii.7.2, 13〕
〔13.9〕
so mss., with practically no variants except °sa° or °su°, °ṭhā or °ṭho
Senart has various emendations and suggested interpretations, doubting at last (〔iii n. 466〕) his suggestion of 〔ii n. 568〕, -sapīṭha = sadṛśa, (lion-)like
except that the mg. must be in effect strong, or the like, I cannot interpret the word. It may be cpd. with the foll. balavān, and is doubtless corrupt. (Divide siṃhāsa-[= siṃhāsana-]-pīṭho?)
