I connect jagr? with the kitul palm sugar (kitul juggery). It is used in
Ayurveda. And I eat it always for my tea.

I thought of that, too, Heiner, but I don't think that it can apply in the 10th c., when the text was probably composed.

Dear [colleagues],
I was once a Sanskrit student at UC Berkeley (1990s) and collected many
books. I am in the process of giving away and selling some Sanskrit books
(housed at my parent's house in the bay area) and wanted to offer, to
anyone interested, a 4 volume Atharvaveda (with Sayana), 19th c.
Nirnayasagar press, for the cost of shipping from California. I used to be
a member of the Indology list, but no longer am ....
Thanks,
Chandan Narayan

Thank you very much, Dan, Heiner, and Matthew, for your replies. Dan, what
the Dharmamitra.org site came up with is truly amazing. I had no idea that
such a research tool existed. It greatly helped to explain why the various
Tibetan translations of jagr? and pl?han are so mutually contradictory.
There is no doubt that jagr? is the correct word. We have very old
palm-leaf manuscripts from near the time the *K?lacakra-tantra* and its
*Vimalaprabh?* commentary were written, circa 1025-1040 CE, and they all
agree on this spelling. This word must have been taken from some medical
text then available.
The first Tibetan translation made, by Gyijo, as revised shortly thereafter
by rMa lotsawa, translated jagr? as mcher pa, "spleen." The Rwa translation
translated jagr? as skran, "tumor." The 'Bro translation as revised by
Shong ston translated jagr? as dmu chu, "edema," and the Jonang revision of
the Shong ston revision left this unchanged. The Sarnath Sanskrit edition
of the *Vimalaprabh?* put yak?t in parentheses after jagr?, thus thinking
it means "liver."
The first Tibetan translation made, by Gyijo, as revised shortly thereafter
by rMa lotsawa, translated pl?han, "spleen," as mchin pa, "liver." The Rwa
translation translated pl?han as mchin nad, "liver disease." The 'Bro
translation as revised by Shong ston translated pl?han as skran, "tumor,"
and the Jonang revision of the Shong ston revision left this unchanged.
None of the four available Tibetan translations took pl?han as "spleen."
The *Vimalaprabh?* commentary has: jagr?-pl?h?r?a-rog?n api jalodar?d?ni,
which seems to gloss jagr? as jalodara, "edema" (literally, "water belly").
There is no other occurrence of the word jagr? in the *K?lacakra-tantra* or
*Vimalaprabh?*.
It would be very helpful to find what medical text the term jagr? was taken
from.
With thanks and best regards,
David Reigle

Dear David,
On a hunch, I looked into Farsi possibilities and found ??? jigar meaning
liver. I think this may solve your mystery.
I thought of this because my current project on the Yuddhajaya-svarodaya revealed a curious connection with west Asian - Aramaic or Arabic - materials.
all best,
Matthew
