[INDOLOGY] Two terms

[Michael Slouber]

The Garuḍa Purāṇa is corrupt here.  The verse should start “pakṣi oṃ svāhā" which is the famous five-syllable mantra of Garuḍa.

 Dear List,

Two unclear terms: am not sure of their meaning

1st, sanskrit: yakṣi

(yakṣi oṃuṃsvāhājāpī vidyayaṃ gāruḍī parā /
garuḍoktaṃ gāruḍaṃ hi śṛṇu rudra ! madātmakam // GarP_1,2.59 //


2nd, pali: vāḷasaṅghāṭayanta

appearing in Sumangalavilasini, Buddhaghosa's commentary to Mahaparinibbanasutta:

Sakko deva-rājā Vissakammaṁ āmantetvā: ‘Tāta Ajātasattunā dhātu-nidhānikaṁ kataṁ, ettha ārakkhaṁ ṭhapehī ’ti pahiṇi. So āgantvā vāḷa–saṅghāṭa–yantaṁ yojesi. Kaṭṭha–rūpakāni tasmiṁ dhātu–gabbhe phaḷika–vaṇṇa–khagge gahetvā, vata–sadisena Vegeta anupariyantaṁ yantaṁ yojetvā […]

Your help would be greatly appreciated,
