² Read utkrushṭa.—Kshveḍita, kshveḍati is very often found in the Epic, and especially of the sounds of lusty fighting, of courage and defiance in battle, and so on. Although it is found very often in the MBh. with this meaning, yet Nil., so far as I know, does not give a true explanation anywhere. But in the Rām. there is several times to be found very useful matter. So kshveḍita and kshveḍā = simhanāda (v, 4.12; vi, 4.26); and better still, though a little indefinite, in vi, 59.8; kshveḍitāni = svaçaryaprakāçakaçabdāḥ (in the text along with simhanāda, as also often elsewhere).
