Rajasvara (रजस्वर).—adj., probably intended as equivalent of Sanskrit rajasvala, connected with rajas, and interpreted as pas- sionate, subject to passion: kathaṃ bhoti rajasvaro Mahāvastu iii.384.3 (verse), and rājye bhoti rajasvaro id. 6. The verses = Pali Dhammapada (Pali) commentary iii.231.21 and 233.3, which read rajissaro ([bahuvrīhi], as if raja-īśvaraḥ, having passion as his master; our word may be a mangled form of this).

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
