पीत mf(ā-)n.

Answer 1

पीत mf(ā-)n. == YELLOW == (possibly fr.2. pi-or pyai-,the colour of butter and oil being yellowish) yellow (the colour of the vaiśya-s, white being that of the Brahmans, red that of the kṣatriya-s, and black that of the śūdra-s) etc.
\
BE SURE TO DISTINGUISH THIS MEANING AND ITS ETYMOLOGY FROM THOSE OF…
\
पीत mfn. (1. pā-) drunk, sucked, sipped, quaffed, imbibed etc.
\
SO पीतवानरः HERE == ‘A YELLOW MONKEY’ AND NOT ‘A DRUNKEN MONKEY’

Question 4

SUNDARA KĀṆḌAM
03.23 Anuṣṭubh (Śloka)
कोसलेन्द्र m.

Answer 4

कोसलेन्द्र m. == Rāma, Lord of the Kosalas
\
कोसल m. plural (in later texts generally, spelt kośala-), Name of a country and the warrior-tribe inhabiting it (descendants of māṭhavya- videgha- ) etc. (kośalānāṃ-[ varia lectio kauśal- ] nakṣatra-Name of a lunar mansion ) ; kosala Is the name of a people not occurring in the earliest Vedic literature. In the story of the spread of Aryan culture told in the śatapatha Brāhmana, the Kosala-Videhas, as the offspring of Videgha Māthava, appear as falling later than the Kuru-Pañcālas under the influence of Brahminism. The same passage gives the Sadānīrā as the boundary of the two peoples —Kosala and Videha. Elsewhere the Kausalya, or Kosala king, Para Atnāra Hairanyanābha, is described as having performed the great Aśvamedha, or horse sacrifice. Connexion with Kāśi and Videha appears also from a passage of the Sāñkhāyana śrauta Sūtra. Weber points out that Áśvalāyana, who was very probably a descendant of Aśvala, the Hotr priest of Videha, is called a Kosala in the Praśna Upanisad. The later distinction of North and South Kosala is unknown to both Vedic and Buddhist literature. Kosala lay to the north-east of the Ganges, and corresponded roughly to the modern Oudh.
