ajagara

== Pali == === Alternative forms === === Etymology === Inherited from Sanskrit अजगर (ajagara, literally “goat-swallower”). The meaning “boa constrictor” seems to arise from its use as the English translations in Monier Williams’ Sanskrit-English dictionary and Childers' Pali-English dictionary; the translation now occurs in dictionaries of Asian origin (e.g. A.P. Buddhadatta’s) and affects modern usage. === Noun === ajagara m python boa constrictor ==== Declension ==== === References ===
