Kern's at Toev. n.45 on distinction of washerman &
dyer. — D 1.51 (in list of occupations); Vin 111.45 ;

perhaps "painter"?); S in. 131 ; J v. 186; VbhA 331

Rajakkha (-°) (adj.) [rajo-t- ending ka, in comb» 'rajas-ka
=rajakldia, like •puras-kata = purakkhata. The °ka

further comb"" with "jatika ; cp. BSk. alpa-rajaskajatiya

Rajakkhati (f.) [abstr. fr. rajakkha] is Kern's (problematic)
proposed reading {Toev. s. v.) for rajakhada at
Sn 831 (rajakhadaya phuttho). which is however unjustified,
as the original reading is well-attested and
expl* in the Niddesa as such. The term as proposed
would not occur by itself either (like rajakkha, only -°).
Rajata (nt.) [Vedic rajata; see etym. under rajati] silver

intrs. rajjati (q.v.). As rajitabba (grd.) in meaning
"to be bleached" (dhovitabba -(- ) only in meaning
" bleach " (as compared with dhovati clean, & vija$eti
to disentangle, smoothe) Vin in.235 (ppr. fr. pi. dhovantiyo
rajantiyo etc.); J 1.8 (rajitabba, grd.; dhovitabba
-(-). — Somehow it is difficult to distinguish
between the meanings " bleach " and " dye " (cp.
rajaka), in some comb"" with dhovati it clearly means
"dye," as at Vin 1.50 (forms: rajati, rajitabba. rajiyetha
3 sg. Pot. Med.); Vism 65 (forms: rajitva, rajitabba.
rajitur)). — Another grd. rajaniya in difi. meaning

RajanI (f) [fr. raj, cp. rajaniya 2] the night Davs 1.39;
Abhp 69 ; PvA 205.
Rajaniya (adj.) [grd. of rajati] of the nature of rajas,
i. e. leading to lust, apt to rouse excitement, enticing,
lustful. — I. As Ep. of rupa (vedana saiiiia etc.) S
in. 79; also at D 1.152 sq. (dibbani rupani passami
& the same
piya-rupani kam' flpasaghitani rajaniyani ;
with sadddni). In another formula (relating to the
5 kamagui^a): rupa (sadda etc.) itthS kanta manapa
piyarupa kam' iipasaghita rajaniya D 1.245; M 1.85.
The expl» of this passage at DA 1.3 n is; r. = raga-
janaka. — The expression rajaniya dhamma "things
(or thoughts) causing excitement " is contrasted with
Timocaniya dh. " that which leads to emancipation "
at A 11.196. The same takes the places of lobhaniya
dhamma in comb» with dosaniya & mohaniya dh. at
S IV..307 ; A II. 120 ; III. 169. Another pair is mentioned
at Nett 18, viz. r. dhamma and pariyut^haniya dh.
2. In dig. connections it means simp^ly "delightful,
lovely " and is e. g. an Ep. of the night. So at Pv
111.7I. where the passage runs " yuva rajaniye kama-
gupehi sobhasi " : youthful thou shinest with the
qualities of enjoyment in the enjoyable (night), which
at PvA 205 is expl* in a twofold manner viz. first as
" rama^uyehi raguppatti-hetu-bhutehi " (viz. kamagu^iehi),
referring to a v. 1. rajaniyehi, and then as
" rajani ti va rattisu, ye ti nipatamattar) " and " virocasi
rattiyarj." Thus rajani is here taken directly as
" night " (cp. Abhp 69). — At Pv iv.6« the passage runs
" pamatta rajaniyesu kam' assad' abhinandhino " i, e.
not heeding the enjoyment of the taste of craving at
nights : here as m. & not (. — The meaning " lovely "
is appl* to sounds at Th i. 1233 (sarena rajaniyena)
VvA 37 (r. nigghosa).
