Yagghe
Yagghe,(indecl.) [similar in formation & meaning to tagghe (q.v.).It is yaṁ (yad)+gha,the latter in a Māgadhised form ghe,whereas taggha (=tad+gha) only occurs as such] hortative part,used in addressing a (superior) person in the Voc.followed by Pot.of jānāti,either 2nd jāneyyāsi,or 3rd sg.jāneyya; to be trsld somewhat like “look here,don’t you know,” surely,you ought to know; now then; similarly to part.yaṁ nu, yaṁ nūna & yaṁ hi.The part.is found in the language of the Nikāyas only,thus indicating part of the oldest & original dialect.E.g.:y.bhante jāneyyāsi Vin.I,237; yagghe deva jāneyyāsi yo te puriso dāso ...so ...pabbajito do you know,Oh king D.I,60 (trsl.:“if it please your majesty,do you know ...”; DA.I,169 expls as “codan’at‹11›the nipāto”); y.ayye jāneyyāsi M.II,62; mahārāja j.M.II,71; id.S.I,101; y.bhavan jāneyya S.I,180.-- The passage M.II,157 is somewhat doubtful where we find y.with the ind.and in var.forms (see v.l.) of yagghi & taggha:“jānanti pana bhonto yagghe ...” with reply “na jānāma yagghe ...” Perhaps the reading taggha would be preferable.(Page 546)
