Abhīvṛta (अभीवृत):—[tatpurusha compound] m. f. n.

(-taḥ-tā-tam) (ved.)

1) Surrounded, accompanied.

2) Covered, obscured.—In the Ṛgv.-verse I. 164. 29.: ayaṃ sa śiṅkte yena gaurabhīvṛtā mimāti māyuṃ dhvasanāvadhi śritā, Sāyaṇa who supplies to ayaṃ the word vatsaḥ and takes the latter as a metaphorical expression for the world desiring rain, and ‘the cow’ as the cloud, renders the beginning words: yena vatsena gaurmātābhīvṛtā . āgatyābhito veṣṭitā bhavati; Durga on Yāska 2. 9. supplies to ayaṃ the word megha and renders gauḥ ‘voice, speech’: ayaṃ sa meghaḥ śabdāyate śabdamiva karoti . na ca tāvadasau śabdaṃ karoti . atha ca tāvanmādhyamikāyāṃ vāci tatsthāyāṃ śabdaṃ kurvatyāṃ tatsāhacaryādvijñāyate sa eva śabdaṃ karotīti . yena meghena kiṃ kṛtamiti . yena gaurabhīvṛtā . yena mādhyamikā vāgabhipracchāditā satī mimāti māyuṃ nirmimīte nirvartayati māyuṃ śabdaṃ karotītyarthaḥ; in Roth's ed. of the Nirukta (2. 9.) abhipravṛttā must therefore be corrected to abhipravṛtā, the former being contrary to the sense and unsupported by the gloss of Durga. E. vṛ with abhi, kṛt aff. kta, with the second syllable protracted (as noticed by the Ṛgv. Prātiś.).

context information

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.
