giri
Giri , n. of a nāga king ( cf. next): Māy 246.32 . In LV 393.3 ( vs ) I am doubtful of -giri-, which seems to stand for a form of gir(ā), speech, words , and suggest em. to -gira-, m.c. for -girā, see prec. Text apagata-giri-vākpatho hy alipto, said of the Buddha: unstained, because beyond the range of speech in words ; in Skt. (atīta-)vākpatha (not well defined in BR ) means (beyond) the range of words, inexpressible, indescribable ; some such meaning must be involved here. Mss. vākyatho, but Tib. , otherwise not clear, confirms a form of -path(a): tshig bral dag gi lam (= way ) gyis ( inst. ; does this point to a reading -pathā?) mi gos pa , which seems to mean not stained by the way of those deprived of speech . But Calc. and Foucaux understand apagatagiri as a separate word ( loc. absolute), which may be right.
