Aparāpahāṇā (अपरापहाणा):—[tatpurusha compound] f.

(-ṇā) [This word and the similar word pūrvāpahāṇā are mentioned in a Gaṇa to Pāṇ. Iv. 1. 4. on account of the irregular formation of the feminine in ā, for the affix of apahāna being ṭit (i. e. lyuṭ)—Kāśikā: ṭinnipātanāt—the word ought to end in ī (ṅīp). In accordance with this view Mādhava explains both words in the Dhātuvṛtti pūrvānparāṃśca jahāti—in adopting apparently the reading parāpahāṇā mentioned also by the Gaṇaratnam. i. e.] One (fem.) who or which leaves those who or which are behind &c. (see apara). [But the Gaṇaratnam. proposes some other queer meanings, viz. apahīyatenayāsyāṃ vā (comp. Pāṇ. Iii. 3. 117.) . apahāṇā . pūrvasyāpahāṇā pūrvāpahāṇā (comp. Pāṇ. Ii. 2. 8. v. 1.) . atha samāsātprāgevātra ṅī kasmānna bhavatīti vedane vacanānarthakyaprasaṅgaḥ . yadvā . pūrvaścāsāvapahānaśceti pūrvāpahānaḥ . strī cetpūrvāpahāṇā . ṇatvaṃ nipātanādeva . ṭillakṣaṇaṅīvidhau prāpta āpare ṇatvaṃ vidhīyate . te hi ohāṅ gatāvityasmiṃkṛtaniṣṭhātakāranakāre pūrvamapahānamasyā iti vānācchādājjāterityādinā (sic? compare Pāṇ. Ii. 2. 36. v. 1. Iv. 1. 52. v. 5., Vi. 2. 170.) ṅīprāptirbādhyata ityāhuḥ . evamaparāpahāṇā . kecittu parāpahāṇeti paṭhanti .., i. e. [a.]) [tatpurusha compound] fem…by which (whom) or in which (whom) something or some one subsequent is left (i. e. similar to Mādhava's explanation); but the Gaṇar. doubts of this meaning. [b.]) [karmadharaya compound] fem. A subsequent woman(?) who is abandoned; with a corresp. masc. ending in a dental na. [c.]) [bahuvrihi compound] fem…from which or whom something subsequent has gone away; when apahāna is the past partic. of ‘to go’ with apa. All these explanations are probably only etymological and refer to some conventional sense of the word which is not stated by the commentators of Pāṇini.] Bhoja and the Kāśikā give the reading aparāpahāyaṇā. E. apara and apahāna.

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.
