udyāma
Entry 3582, Page 131, Col. 2
(udyAma, udyAma)
udyāma¦, m. (cf. Vedic id., the mg. of which in some places, ŚB 8.5.1.13, is not clear), in sūtrodyāmaḥ Divy 643.1 = 644.9, perhaps extension, drawing out (of thread), see s.v. tatkṣaṇa; but the precise meaning of the phrase excapes me. It may mean effort, exertion (Skt. udyama), as in Aśokan u(y)yāma, Rock Ed. (Kalsi) 13.18. In this sense probably read nir-udyāmā, as suggested by Kashgar rec., SP 100.9 (prose).
