(virUpAkza, virUpAkza)
Virūpākṣa¦ (= Pali Virūpakkha), (1) n. of one of the ‘world-guardians’, see s.v. mahārāja(n); Viru° (m.c.) Samādh p. 42 line 4; guardian of the west, and lord of nāgas; doubtless intended by the nāga-king of this name Māy 247.18; (2) pl., used (as also in Pali) of nāgas, pre- sumably as followers of Virūpākṣa: Māy 221.15; (3) sg., Virūpākṣaḥ (alone!) as final colophon, Sādh 601.4, perhaps meant as name of the author of the last section? (But the usual way in Sādh of indicating authors' names is something like kṛtiḥ plus gen. of the name.)
