urūḷhava

adjective large, bulky, immense; great big, strong. Only in one stock phrase “nāgo isādanto urūḷhavo” Vv.20#9, Vv.43#9 ; Ja.vi.488; of which variant n. ī ubbuḷhavā MN.i.414 = MN.i.450. The word is expld. at Ja.vi.488 by “ubbāhana-samattha”; at Vv-a.104 (pl. urṳ̄ḷhavā) by “thāmajava-parakkamehi byūhanto (variant reading brahmanto) mahantaṃ yuddha-kiccaṃ vahituṃ samatthā ti attho”.
