(UrDvAgra, UrDvAgra-)
ūrdhvāgra-¦ (ūrdhvāṅga-, ūrdhvaṃga-, ūrdhvaga-; also written ūrdhā° without v, see ūrdha-; for other variants see below) -roma(n), adj. (= Pali uddhagga- loma), having (body-)hair standing up, lit. with upright tips, one of the 32 lakṣaṇa, q.v. The form ūrdh(v)āgra-, sup- ported by Pali, is prob. orig. (so Burnouf, Lotus, 571); it is found in Dharmas 83; Mv i.226.18 (mss. kṛtvāgra); ii.305.15 (mss. ūrddhāgraromarājino or uddhā°); but in ii.30.2 mss. ūrddhaṃga, urddhaṃ ca (Senart ūrdhvāgra). Mvy 257 has ūrdhva-ga-romaḥ, but Mironov ūrdhvaṃga° (both going upward; cf. mss. in Mv ii.30.2); and Bbh 375.17; 381.24 also ūrdhvaṃga-(romā, adj.; romatā, subst.). In Bbh 379.10 the ms. has the further change to ūr- dhvāṅga-(romatāṃ; ed. em. ūrdhvaṃga), as if ūrdhva- aṅga-roma-; so Gv 402.9--10 ūrdhvāṅgaromā (Bhvr.); LV 429.15 ūrdhvāṅga-(dakṣiṇāvarta-)-romakūpa(ḥ). Finally in LV 105.21 there is great confusion; Lefm. (only with B mss.) ūrdhāgrā(bhipradakṣiṇāvarta)-romāḥ (read °mā, Bhvr.); other mss. u(d)dhāṃgā°, uccāśā° (ucca-āśā); Tib. obscure, yan lag gi spu gyas phyogs nas gyen du ḥkhyil ba, lit. hair of member(s), from (after) right direction (gen- erally = diś or āśā), upward twist (generally = āvarta). As Burnouf points out, Foucaux's transl. is inaccurate. The expression (abhi-pra-)dakṣiṇāvarta is inserted here in the epithet only in LV (both passages); it is attached to the lakṣaṇa ekaikaroma(n) in Mvy 256 and Dharmas 83, and in the commentarial expansion of the latter Gv 402.9; but Pali commentarial expansions of uddhaggaloma have a corresponding term, Burnouf, Lotus, 571.
