(udyUTikA, udyUTikA)
udyūthikā¦, f. subst. (adj.?), (cf. Pali uyyodhika, Vin. iv.107.26, old comm. = yattha saṃpahāro dissati, the correspondent of our word, which seems to have been Sktized by association with yūtha, prob. unhistorically; root yudh is doubtless the true source; but mg. is rather obscure, see Childers, who guesses sham fight), perhaps some sort of military exercise, such as sham battle; in Mvy 8470 °kā-gamanam = Tib. gyul bśams pa ḥkhrug tu (ḥgro ba), (going to) an army prepared for battle? or a battle-prepared combat (i.e. a military maneuver)?; in Prāt 512.6 seemingly adj. with senā, udyūthikāṃ senāṃ darśanāya (Chin. regarder les manœuvres, Finot); in accord with this possibly udyūthikā in Mvy may imply senā, meaning (an army) ready for military operations (?).
