Vilāka (adj.) [perhaps=vilagga (Geiger, P.Gr. § 612), although difficult to connect in meaning] only in f. ˚a: slender (of waist); the expln with vilagga may refer to a comparison with a creeper (cp. vilambin & J v.215) as "hanging" ("climbing") i. e. slim, but seems forced. See also virāgita which is expld in the same way. The word is peculiar to the "Jātaka" style. -- J iv.19 (=suṭṭhu -- vilaggita -- tanu -- majjhā); v.155 (+mudukā; C. expls as sankhitta -- majjhā), 215 (˚majjhā=vilaggasarīrā C.), 506 (velli -- vilāka -- majjhā=vilagga -- majjhā, tanu -- dīgha -- majjhā C.); VvA 280 (˚majjhā for sumajjhimā of Vv 6413; T. reads vilāta˚).
