[INDOLOGY] Two terms

[Artur Karp]

 Dear List,

1st, sanskrit: *yakṣi *

(*yakṣi* oṃuṃsvāhājāpī vidyayaṃ gāruḍī parā /

2nd, pali: *vāḷasaṅghāṭayanta*

appearing in *Sumangalavilasini,* Buddhaghosa's commentary to
*Mahaparinibbanasutta*:

Sakko deva-rājā Vissakammaṁ āmantetvā: ‘Tāta Ajātasattunā dhātu-nidhānikaṁ

yojesi. Kaṭṭha–rūpakāni tasmiṁ dhātu–gabbhe phaḷika–vaṇṇa–khagge gahetvā,
vata–sadisena Vegeta anupariyantaṁ yantaṁ yojetvā […]
