Englishhastināga, m. (= Pali hatthi°, see PTSD s.v. nāga, [Page619-a] and Andersenʼs Reader, Glossary, an excellent elephant), acc. to pw (citing Divy) ein fürstlicher Elephant
this fits some BHS passages well enough, and may be meant in Pali Vv. comm. 〔37.8〕 hatthināga as gloss on nāga of text (this elephant was indeed a fine one)
but it is not always clear that it means more than (any) elephant (they are all noble beasts)
one suspects sometimes that hasti- may be prefixed to distinguish this from nāga, serpent: Mv 〔ii.70.7〕
〔74.12 ff.〕
Divy 〔74.2 ff.〕
〔286.28 f.〕
〔334.15〕 (read with mss.)
〔370.26〕. (In late Skt. Hastināgapura occurs as n. of a city, Schmidt, Nachträge
and acc. to Sheth, Pkt. Hatthiṇāgapura, or the like, = Hastināpura.)
