Amarā, (1) n. of a smith's daughter (= later Yaśo-
dharā), who married Mahauṣadha; heroine of a Jātaka
which = the Pali Sūci-j., No. 387: Mv ii.83.19 ff.; colo-
phon 89.11 Amarāye karmāradhītāye jātakam. In the
Sūci-j. the characters are unnamed; but (Pali) Mahosadha
is the hero of the Mahāummagga-j., No. 546, and Amarā
is his wife. This has misled both CPD and DPPN into
identifying this Pali Jātaka with the story of Mv. Actually
the stories are quite different, and Mv agrees with the
Sūci-j., which, to be sure, acc. to the Story of the Present,
belongs to the same occasion as the Mahāummagga;
hence doubtless the transfer of the names of the hero
and heroine from one to the other. Which was the original?
(2) n. of a river: Māy 253.6; in a list between Viśvāmitrā
and Tāmarā; not in Kirfel; perhaps read Amalā? (but
this also is not recorded as a river-name).
