Entry 8509, Page 306, Col. 2

<k1>niSAWaka<k2>niSAWaka ? niśāṭhaka¦ or niśāthaka, in: kalaha-raṇa-°kā(ḥ) Mv i.176.6--7, ep. of Buddhas; clearly corrupt; Senart em. niśātakā, rendering (sharp =) redoubtable in (spiritual) fights and battles. But niśāta is not recorded in this use, and moreover I question such a complimentary fig. use of kalaha-raṇa. It seems more likely that some deriv. of niśāmyati, is pacified, is involved; a caus. to this would mean quieters (of strife and evil). Possibly niśāmakā(ḥ)?
