(udDya, udDya)
? uddhya¦ (m. ? so Skt. Lex., once in literature, BR), perhaps river, stream (suspected by BR of being only n. pr. of a river); in LV 274.12 (prose) (mahatā) puṣpāḍhyena (pravarṣatā), should mean with a great stream of flowers raining down. Both edd. puṣpāḍhyena, which can only be understood if a noun for stream or rain is supplied; nearly all mss. puṣpodyena; udya is recorded as v.l. in a Hindu Lex. for uddhya, see BR; perhaps read puṣpod- dhyena, or even puṣpodyena with mss. ? Tib. me tog maṅ poḥi char chen po ni ḥbebs, a great rain of many flowers rained down.
