Svaka (स्वक).�(m) (?) (compare s.v. svaya�), (1) according to Senart = Sanskrit svayam, (one)self, in Ѳ屹ٳ iii.126.9, 10; the crow-king Supātra's minister speaks: (if I cannot fulfil the king's command, and steal food from the kitchen of the king of Benares) na puruṣaraka� bhavati (here mss. punctuate) asmāka�, gacchāmi svaka� rājño Supātrasya niveditu� (so Senart, but mss. °trasya ke, or ka-, nivedita�), mahārāja atra svaka� (so Senart em., mss. se) mahāna- sāto rājabhojana� ānemi.The passage seems to me too uncertain to justify confidence in the em. (which might be explained as hyper-Sanskrit for svaya�, interpreted as having Pktic y for k, § 2.33). In the first line the orig. may have been svakaṃ…nivedita� (with mss.); (2) in Lalitavistara 237.16 (verse) Lefm. mahya saṃjñi svakam eva vartate, which might be rendered my own self (assuming svakam = ātmā) is having the idea (that you will become like the Highest of Men). But best mss. have saṃjñā for saṃjñi; meter will be satisfied by saṃjña, and we could interpret svaka-m-eva, with hiatus-bridging m; then, my very own notion is� In 󲹰ṇḍī첹 112.8 (verse) read probably with Nepalese mss. pitā svakasya, his own father; svakasya = Sanskrit svasya = ātmana�.
