Añchati, (in meaning = ākaḍḍhati, which latter is also the Sk. gloss (ākārṣayati) to the Jain Prk. aṃchāvei = añchati: see Morris, J. P. T. S. 1893, 60) to pull, drag, pull along, to turn on a lathe D.II, 291 (bhamakāro dīghaṃ a., where K has note: añjanto ti pi acchanto ti pi pātho) = M.I, 56 (vv. ll. p. 532 acch° & añj°); Th.1, 750 (añcāmi T., v.l. aññāmi). Añchati should also be read at J I 417 for udakaṃ añcanti (in expl^n. of udañcanī pulling the water up from a well, q. v.), where it corresponds to udakaṃ ākkaḍḍhati in the same sentence. (Page 13)
