mahAdeva
Mahādeva , ( 1 ) n. of a king, of the race of Mahāsaṃmata and corresp. to Pali Makhādeva(!): Mvy 3582 ; MSV i.111.19 ff. ; ( 2 ) n. of a prince, son of Mahāratha and [Page423-a] brother of Mahāsattva: Suv 206.12 ; 225.13 ff. ; ( 3 ) n. of a god: Gv 218.6 ff. ; perhaps understood as the same as Skt. Mahādeva (Śiva); but his residence is Dvāravatī ( q.v. ), and he has four arms ( 219.1 ); both things suggest Kṛṣṇa.
