(apakzya, apakzya)
? apakṣya¦, adj. (cf. Skt. pakṣya, adherent of a party, as deva-p°), having no adherents: doubtful reading, LV 301.4 (vs), Lefm. apakṣyapakṣyo, but many mss. apakṣa- pakṣo; we must read certainly pakṣo, and before it as a separate word apakṣya or apakṣa (n. sg. m.), your (Māra's) party is without adherents. The form apakṣa occurs in Skt. (Mbh. Crit. ed. 1.134.24) and in LV 273.3 saṃsāra- pakṣāpakṣa-karaṇa-gatiḥ, with the gait of one who makes partisanless the party of the saṃsāra; LV 302.13 (Māraḥ) svapakṣaṃ cāpakṣam apaśyat, saw his party without adherents (i.e. annihilated); also in Pali as apakkha (which however could of course = apakṣya); whereas apakṣya has not been noted elsewhere.
