Vilāka (adjective) [perhaps = vilagga (Geiger, Pāli Grammar §61.2), although difficult to connect in meaning] only in feminine °a: slender (of waist); the explanation with vilagga may refer to a comparison with a creeper (cf. vilambin and Ja V 215) as "hanging" ("climbing") i.e. slim, but seems forced. See also virāgita which is explained in the same way. The word is peculiar to the "Jātaka" style. — Ja IV 19 (= suṭṭhu-vilaggita-tanu-majjhā); V 155 (+ mudukā; commentary explains as saṅkhitta-majjhā), 215 (°majjhā = vilaggasarīrā commentary), 506 (velli-vilāka-majjhā = vilagga-majjhā, tanu-dīgha-majjhā commentary); Vv-a 280 (°majjhā for sumajjhimā of Vv 64 13 ; Text reads vilāta°).
