wood" Vin. Texts ii.51) Vin i.203; S iii.156= v.44= A v.22; -- ayasa black (dark) iron (to distinguish it from
bronze, Rh. D., Miln trsl. ii.364; cp. blacksmith > silversmith) Miln 414, 415; -- kañjaka a kind of Asuras,
Titans D iii.7; J v.187; PvA 272; -- ka**" "black -- cared," as an unlucky quality. Cp. iii.611; J i.239;
iv.189; v.134, 211; vi.347; DhA i.307; ii.26; the vision of the "black -- eared" is a bad omen, which spoils
the luck of a hunter, e. g. at DhA iii.31 (referring here to the sight of a bhikkhu); as "witch" PvA 272; DhA
iii.38, 181; as k -- k. saku*a, a bird of ill omen J ii.153; -- ka**ika= prec.; -- kabara spotted, freckled J
vi.540; -- kesa (adj.) with glossy or shiny hair, by itself (k!)a -- kesa) rare, e. g. at J vi.578; usually in cpd.
susuk!)a -- kesa "having an over -- abundance of brilliant hair" said of Gotama. This was afterwards
applied figuratively in the description of his parting from home, rising to a new life, as it were, possessed of
the full strength and vigour of his manhood (as the rising Sun). Cp. the Shamash -- Saga, which attributes
to the Sun a wealth of shiny, glossy (=polished, dark) hair (=rays), and k!)a in this connection is to be
interpreted just as ka*ha (q. v.) in similar combinations (e. g. as K%+*a H%+"kesa or Kesav!). On this feature
of the Sun -- god and various expressions of it see ample material in Palmer, The Samson Saga pp. 33 -- 46.
-- The double application of su˚ does not offer any difficulty, suk!)a is felt as a simplex in the same way as
eu)plokamo/s or duh˚ in combns like sudubbala PvA 149, sudullabha VvA 20. Bdhgh. already interprets
the cpd. in this way (DA i.284= su&&hu -- k˚, añjana -- va**a k˚ va hutv!; cp. ka*h -- añjana J v.155). Cp.
also siniddha -- n"la -- mudu -- kuñcita -- keso J i.89, and suka*haka*ha J v.202. -- susuk!)akesa of others
than the Buddha: M ii.66. Modern editors and lexicographers see in susu˚ the Sk. $i$u young of an animal,
cub, overlooking the semantical difficulty involved by taking it as a separate word. This mistake has been
applied to the compound at all the passages where it is found, and so we find the reading susu k!)akeso at
M i.82=A ii.22 =J ii.57; M i.163=A i.68=S i.9, 117; also in Childers' (relying on Burnouf), or even sus( k˚
at S iv.111; the only passages showing the right reading susu -- k˚ are D i.115, M i.463. Konow under susu
