alpAsvAda
alpāsvāda , adj. ( subst. ? = Pali appassāda), affording little pleasure , in Mv i.121.4 perhaps subst. , a sort of kenning for kāma (the Pali word is often an epithet of kāma, and sometimes seems to be a substitute for it). The Mv line ( vs ) is corrupt; perhaps alpāsvāda-nibaddho (or read °dhā?) means kāma-nibaddho; in the second half line surely lokā vartenti dāruṇāḥ is intended, rather than Senart ʼs em. ; as adj. , e.g. Divy 41.26 (mahāsamudro) 'lpāsvādo bahvādīnavas.
