nArada
Nārada , ( 1 ) occurs as the n. of the well-known sage, as in Skt. , e.g. Mv iii.401.9 ; ( 2 ) in Mv ii.55.3 ; 63.18 given as n. of the ascetic Kauśika (1), q.v. , owing to a confusion of tradition (in Pali , which has the original form of the story, he is the same as Skt. Nārada and not = Kosika, Kosiya); ( 3 ) in Mv ii.42.19 and 43.2 (here v.l. nālada) the name seems to replace Nālaka , q.v. , perhaps by corruption of tradition (but cf. the form Nālada in Av , also v.l. at Mv ii.43.2 ).
