Madhuraka
Madhuraka (adj.) [fr. madhura, cp. similarly madhuka> madhu] full of sweet drink, intoxicated, in phrase
madhuraka -- j!tok!yo viya "like an intoxicated body," i. e. without control, weak. The usual translation has
been "become languid or weak" ("erschlafft" Ger.). Franke, D"gha Übs. 202 (where more literature)
translates: "Ich f(hlte mich schwach, wie ein zartes Pflänzchen," hardly justifiable. -- D ii.99; M i.334; S
iii.106, A iii.69. The description refers to a state of swooning, like one in a condition of losing
consciousness through intoxication. Rh. D. (Dial. ii.107) translates "my body became weak as a creeper,"
hardly correct. taken as noun also by Winternitz (Rel. gesch. Lesebuch 301): "wohl eine zarte Pflanze mit
schwachen Stengel." F. L. Woodward follows me in discarding trsln "creeper" and assuming one like
"intoxicated" (so also UdA, 246): see his note on S iii.106 trsln (K.S. iii.90).
