    [añja (añjas?) , cf. Skt. añjas, quickly; exclamation

    used in Pali (Jāt. i.192.5, 29) in urging a draft-animal to go

    (gee! get up! go ahead!), come up! In LV 394.18 (vs) tad

    añja is Lefm.'s em. for tad-anya of all mss. and Calc.

    which seems to make no sense. Addressed by Brahmā to

    the Buddha, urging him to preach the law; presumed to

    mean perhaps come on! But Tib. seems to have had a

    quite different reading: kha ḥbyed pa, mouth open (Fou-

    caux, ouvre ta bouche; but the form is not given as impv.

    by Jä). Should we read ud-añca, 2 sg. impv., for Skt.

    ud-añcaya, ertönen lassen (pw)? Graphic confusion of u

    and ta occurs in some Indian alphabets, e.g. in Śāradā.]
