Entry 16819, Page 595, Col. 2
(siMhAsapIWa, siMhAsapIWa)
? siṃhāsapīṭha¦ (°supīṭha ?), adj., only in first half of an anuṣṭubh vs, °pīṭho (or °pīṭhā) balavān: Mv ii.431.17 (here printed as prose, wrongly); 458.10; iii.7.2, 13; 13.9; so mss., with practically no variants except °sa° or °su°, °ṭhā or °ṭho; Senart has various emendations and suggested interpretations, doubting at last (iii n. 466) his suggestion of ii n. 568, -sapīṭha = sadṛśa, (lion-)like; except that the mg. must be in effect strong, or the like, I cannot interpret the word. It may be cpd. with the foll. balavān, and is doubtless corrupt. (Divide siṃhāsa-[= siṃhāsana-]-pīṭho?)
