Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Goldstücker Sanskrit-English DictionaryApānnaptṛ (अपान्नप्तृ):—[tatpurusha compound] m.
(-ptā) The grandson of the Waters, a vaidik epithet or name of Agni (see the explanation given s. v. apānnapāt); but Sāyaṇa distinguishes on one occasion the sacrificial fire from the apānnaptṛ whom he then calls the Fire of the lightning as being the son of the rain-waters. Comp. ap and aponaptṛ. [In the vaidik hymns this word does not occur as a compound; but that it must have been considered as such in the ritual literature results from the derivatives apānnaptriya and apānnaptrīya. Patanjali in his comment on the latter forms (Pāṇ. Iv. 2. 28.) denies the correctness of a combination apāṃnaptṛ and assumes that the ending ṛ of the latter word merely exists before the affixes in question, while otherwise the word would be apānnapāt; Kaiyyaṭa, however, admits of such a combination in the Vedas. Mahābhāṣya to Pāṇ. Iv. 2. 28.: atha yadaponaptriyamapāṃnaptriyaṃ vā haviḥ . kathaṃ tasya praiṣaḥ kartavyaḥ . aponapāte nubrūhi . apāṃnapātenubrūhi . aponaptrapāṃnaptṛbhāvaḥ (the Ms. of the E. I. H. No. 330 reads wrongly aponaptṛpāṃnabhāvaḥ) kasmānna bhavati . pratyayasaṃniyogena ṛkārāntatvamucyate . tenāsati pratyaye na bhavitavyam ..; but Kaiyyaṭa: atheti . vede kvacidaponaptre svāheti ṛkārāntaḥ prayogo dṛśayate . kvacidaponapāditi takārāntaḥ prayoga iti praśnaḥ . pratyayasaṃniyogeneti . vede tu cchāndasatvātkvacidṛkārāntayogaḥ (the Ms.: chāndasatvātkaccidṛkārāntayogaḥ).] E. apām (gen. plur. of ap) and naptṛ.
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.
