(-ṇī) The silk cotton tree (Bombax heptaphyllum). E. a compar. or explet. and pūraṇī. (A ludicrous and ungrammatical explanation which is given of this word, viz. ‘not fit for the woof’, is simply refuted by the circumstance that pūraṇī means the same as apūraṇī; the first part of the comp. is the explet. or compar. a which occurs in apaṭī, anikṣu, aneḍamūka, akupya and several other compounds.)
