Dear Herman,

> "ambiguous" (with reference to Patañjali, a text I am not familiar  
> with). I would like to know the exact place and how certain the  
> meaning "ambiguous" is in the passage concerned, and furthermore if  
> this is the only instance of this dvigata.

pw [= Otto von Böhtlingk: Sanskrit-Wörterbuch in kürzerer Fassung. St.  
Petersburg 1879–1889] s.v. dvigata: "zweideutig [= "ambiguous"]  
Ind.St. 13,483."
