Zitat von "Lubin, Tim" <LubinT at wlu.edu>:

> Oskar von Hinüber (1994: “Die Neun Aṅgas,” p. 132) approvingly cites  
> Mayrhofer’s judgment (EWA III/ 492) that the derivation from sūkta  
> is “entbehrlich”; he cites a long discussion of the term in  
> Buddhaghosa’s Atthasālinī 19.15–26 as evidence against it.
