(UrDva, UrDva)
? ūrdhva¦, adj. (in fig. sense), exalted, lofty, great, of power: Mv i.116.3 adhivāsanaṃ viditvā rājāsya durjayor- dhva- (mss. °yorddha-, or °yoddha-, see prec.) bala (mss. balam) eva. Senart's note suggests em. durjayarddhi-bala. For this mg. of ūrdhva may be compared Pali uddhehi vatthehi Jāt. iv.154.15, in rich, lofty clothes (PTSD, doubtfully); but Dutoit's transl. understands with up- lifted garments (presumably to wipe his eyes; the person is weeping).
