as deva-p°), having no adherents: doubtful reading, LV
301.4 (vs), Lefm. apakṣyapakṣyo, but many mss. apakṣa-
pakṣo; we must read certainly pakṣo, and before it as
a separate word apakṣya or apakṣa (n. sg. m.), your (Māra's)
party is without adherents. The form apakṣa occurs in Skt.
(Mbh. Crit. ed. 1.134.24) and in LV 273.3 saṃsāra-
pakṣāpakṣa-karaṇa-gatiḥ, with the gait of one who makes
partisanless the party of the saṃsāra; LV 302.13 (Māraḥ)
svapakṣaṃ cāpakṣam apaśyat, saw his party without
adherents (i.e. annihilated); also in Pali as apakkha (which
however could of course = apakṣya); whereas apakṣya
has not been noted elsewhere.
