स्वरस्वर (svarasvara)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
svarasvara (m.? prob. āmreḍita of Skt. svara, cf. svarāsvara
also sarasarāyate and Pali, AMg. sarasara, to which this could perh. be a hyper-Sktism, influenced by svara), varied sound, noise of various sorts: (a condemned criminal is led to execution) -kaṇṭheguṇena (so mss., see this) svarasvareṇa paṭahena vādyamānena Mv 〔ii.168.9〕 (One might be tempted to take the form as an adj. with paṭaha, rattling noisily
but such a use of svara, or a MIndic equivalent, would seem to be unprecedented.)
