Pravyāhṛtavatī (प्रव्याहृतवती).—Avadāna-śataka ii.10.9, following uvāca (fem. subject), can, it seems, only be a periphrastic form sub- stituting for the perfect, from Sanskrit pravyāharati, speaks; render, she spoke and uttered (the following, which directly quotes her speech). Feer, s'écria à haute voix; Speyer, Index, does not translate, but attributes ‘inchoative force’ to pra (i.e. began to speak?); this is not supported by Sanskrit or [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] usage as far as I know.
