Abhivṛṣṭa (अभिवृष्ट) refers to “berained”, as mentioned in verse 5.3 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] if, berained [viz., abhivṛṣṭa] by it, stainless rice-pap kept in a silver bowl (remains) unputrid and undiscoloured, it (is) to be drunk as Gangetic (water). Otherwise, (it is) oceanic (water); this (is) not to be drunk except in the month of Āśvayuja”.

Note: Abhivṛṣṭa (“berained”) has been converted into char ’bab (“falling as rain”), with the hypothetical relative serving as subject.—gaṅ-źiṅ (for gaṅ-źig) is obviously a blunder copied by C from D.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
