(alpAsvAda, alpAsvAda)
alpāsvāda¦, adj. (subst. ? = Pali appassāda), affording little pleasure, in Mv i.121.4 perhaps subst., a sort of kenning for kāma (the Pali word is often an epithet of kāma, and sometimes seems to be a substitute for it). The Mv line (vs) is corrupt; perhaps alpāsvāda-nibaddho (or read °dhā?) means kāma-nibaddho; in the second half line surely lokā vartenti dāruṇāḥ is intended, rather than Senart's em.; as adj., e.g. Divy 41.26 (mahāsamudro) 'lpāsvādo bahvādīnavas.
