(pakzu, pakzu)
Pakṣu¦, n. of a nāga king: °ur Mvy 3307. Cf. Vakṣu. Tib. Pag-śu. But it seems to be a river-name; the three preceding names are Gaṅgā-, Sindhur, and Sītā-nāgarājā; similarly in MSV i.164.1. (Nāgas are often thought of as living in rivers, as is well known; cf. Mvy 3304--6.) Since Vakṣu occurs as n. of a river in Skt., it is probably the correct form.
