(udveDa, udveDa)
udvedha¦ (m.? = Pali ubbedha, defined as height; AMg. uvveha, defined by Ratnach. only as depth; Pkt. uvveha, acc. to Sheth height or depth, also zamīn-ka avagāha, penetration of the ground[?]), height (so surely in most cases): Śikṣ 246.5 lokadhātuḥ saṃtiṣṭhate, catura- śītiryojanasahasrāṇy udvedhena; Mv i.196.17; iii.229.14; 232.10 (yaṣṭi, or yaṣṭī…) dvādaśayojanāni udvedhena; Mv i.196.2 (iṣikāni, so text…) dvādaśapauruṣā udvedhena; here preceded by figures relating to depth (extent of pene- tration of the ground), see naikhanya, and circumference (? see parigohya); in a close parallel, Mv iii.228.13, (iṣīkāni…) dvādaśapuruṣa-udvedhena (mss. udvehena, uddehena) is preceded by the statement of depth (naikha- nya) and by a form read by Senart tripauruṣoccāni, which would refer to height and so be inconsistent with udvedhena (which, however, if it meant depth, would be inconsistent with the preceding form containing naikha- nya); it seems that Senart should have assumed -parigohya [Page132-b+ 71] (as in i.196.2; or some form relating to circumference) instead of -ucca (mss. read -pauruṣaroccāni or -puruṣaro- ddhā, perhaps showing, in the syllable -ro-, a faint trace of that original). Senart himself saw this in his note on i.196.2, but overlooked it on iii.228.13. Cf. āvedha, pravedha.
