Virāgita, (adj.) (fr. vi+*rāgeti, denom. of rāga?) at J. V, 96 is not clear. It is said of beautiful women & explained by C. as vilagga-sarīrā, tanumajjhā, i.e. “having slender waists. ” Could it be “excited with passion” or “exciting passion”? Or could it be an old misreading for virājita2? It may also be a distorted vilāka (q. v.) or vilaggita. (Page 634)
