(vaktra, vaktra)
[vaktra¦, nt., Mv iii.185.17, repeated 19 (vs) atha gāyasi vaktrāṇi, either corruption or false Sktization for Pali vattāni, same line, Jāt. iii.447.18; Senart assumes that this Pali word = Skt. vṛttāni, meters, which is plau- sible. However, Ratnach. records (without citation from literature) an AMg. vatta = Skt. vyakta, defined singing while making the syllables and sounds distinct, an excellent mode of singing. May not the Pali vattāni, and our word, be equivalents of this? Our word might then be a false Sktization, or error, instead of vyaktāni.]
