Varma (啶掂ぐ啷嵿ぎ).鈥攏 (S) Armour or mail. 2 An affix to the names of men of the Kshatriya tribe; as 办峁涐梗峁嘺惫补谤尘腻办峁迟谤颈测补. varm膿峁� carm膿峁� ch膿da峁嚹撫箖 (To pierce through armour and skin.) To pierce deeply, thoroughly, vitally, lit. fig.

varma (啶掂ぐ啷嵿ぎ).鈥攏 ( A Tumor or imposthume.) A sore and quickly sensible place; a tender and irritable part: also a vital member or organ; a mortal spot. This literal sense is not so general as the following figurative sense arising from it; viz. A touchy point; a vulnerable part; a matter or subject (such as a secret foible, failing, slip) upon which, at the very naming of it, passion rises. 2 If the derivation above suggested be correct, the signification set down should be viewed as involving the whole import of the word; but as the word is indisputably common also in all the senses and applications of the word marma, it possibly may from it have been formed, through that ignorance or heedlessness with which, as the source and spring of formations, the proficient in Mara峁環i is abundantly conversant; and thus even the compounds varmabh膿da, varmasthala, varmasth腻na &c. may sometimes be met with. Turn to marma for full explication and illustration.
