Apahartṛ (अपहर्तृ):—[tatpurusha compound] 1. m. f. n. (-rtā-rtrī-rtṛ)

1) One who takes away, carries off, removes.

2) One who steals.

3) One who conceals or secretes; e. g. nikṣepasyāpahartāram (comm. = nikṣepasyāpahnotāram). 2. m.

(-rtā) The name of a brother of the serpent Śeṣa (according to the Harivaṃśa in the translation of Langlois vol. Ii. p. 481). E. hṛ with apa, kṛt aff. tṛc or tṛn. [N. B. When derived with the kṛt tṛc, the word merely expresses the notion of the agens in general, as is the case with all other derivatives of radicals by means of tṛc; a noun depending on it then stands in the genitive, e. g. nikṣepasyāpahartā ‘a man who secretes a deposit’. But when derived by means of the affix tṛn it implies moreover habit and, a noun depending on it in this sense stands in the accus., e. g. annamapahartāra āhvarakā bhavanti śrāddhe siddhe sati ‘the inhabitants of Ahwara are in the habit of carrying off the food after the funeral oblation is performed’; it might seem doubtful, therefore, whether e. g. the passage of the Dāyabhāga p. 351, line 18: asuvarṇaṃ suvarṇabuddhyāpaharturna suvarṇāpahāraḥ is correct and ought not to be asuvarṇasya &c., the word apahartṛ expressing there simply the agens without an additional notion, as results from the comparison of these words with p. 350. 1. 16. The word when derived by kṛt tṛc is udātta on the last syllable; but when derived by tṛn udātta on the first syllable.]

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.
