2. agra adj. 1〉 erster MED. r. 4. — 2〉 bester TRIK. 3,3,326. MED. r. 4. — 3〉 überschüssig (adhika) MED. r. 4. Nur diese Autoritäten bezeichnen agra entschieden auch als Adjectiv. Da wir aber agra bis jetzt nur MEGH. 4. (agraiḥ kuṭajakusumaiḥ) als Adjectiv zu fassen genöthigt sind (ARJ. 1,8. ist mit der Calc. Ausg. agryaṃ st. agraṃ zu lesen), möchten wir die Vermuthung aussprechen, dass Composita wie agrakāya, agranāsikā, agrahasta u. s. w. die Lexicographen und spätern Schriftsteller bewogen haben agra als Adjectiv zu nehmen. HARIV. S. 927, ult. erscheint agra im Voc. als ein Beiname Viṣṇuʼs.
