apramada

in the following yamakāvalī (q. v.) of the Bhaṭṭik., describing

the effects of the conflagration of Laṅkā: na gajā nagajā

dayitā dayitā vigataṃ vigataṃ lalitaṃ lalitam . pramadāpramadā-

mahatā mahatāmaraṇaṃ maraṇaṃ samayātsamayāt; ‘the excellent

mountain elephants were not saved, the motion of the birds

ceased, women (lit. woman) became joyless, struck (as it

were) by disease (or by flight), in time there came death

unto the brave, (but) not in battle’; (the commentaries

divide either pramadā apramadā the latter = pramadarahitā harṣa-

śūnyetyarthaḥ, or pramadā pramadā the latter = pragato mado yasyā

iti pramadā harṣaśūnyetyarthaḥ i. e. in either case to the same

effect). E. a priv. and pramada.
