Re: [INDOLOGY] Formations of the ghanāghana type

[Rolf Heinrich Koch]

Dear colleagues

I am also struggeling with a similar expression which appears repeatedly 
in the description of buddhist hells:

yukti ayukti kara (by all available means?) daḍamuḍa (fines) gasā (abs. 
II to claim) =

[The royal officers,] who claim by all available means fines [will go to 
the hell].

Another description at the same monastery starts with the same wording:

yukti ayukti koṭa .....

sinhalese kara / koṭa = sk kṛtvā.

Any idea for translating  yukti ayukti kṛtvā in a different way?

Thank you

Heiner
