abda

1 A cloud.

2 A year.

3 A fragrant grass, (Cyperus rotundus.)

4 The name of a mountain.

E. ap water, pa changed to ba, and da what gives; or aba to preserve, &c. and dan Uṇādi affix; hence the word is also written abda.

ing rain; the fem. instrum. abdayā is used in the Ṛgv.

verse: marutaḥ…abdayā cinmuhurā hrādunīvṛtaḥ &c. in

the sense of an adverb, viz. ‘in giving rain’, which in

this passage becomes equivalent to a nom. plur. referring

to marutaḥ, hence Sāyaṇa: = udakānāṃ dātāraḥ . śaso yā-

jādeśaḥ.--For this vaidik use of the fem. instr. in an

adverbial sense (i. e. in the sense of the acc. neuter) com-

pare also sādhuyā = sādhu (Kāś. to Pāṇ. VII. 1. 39.) and the

use of the fem. acc. in -ām, esp. in -tarām and -tamām

instead of -taram or -tamam, e. g. prataram or pratarām,

kiṃtaram or kiṃtamām &c. (comp. Pāṇ. V. 4. 11. and 12).

2. m. (-bdaḥ) ¹ A cloud; e. g. in the Bhaṭṭik.: tataḥ kṣa-

pāṭaiḥ pṛthupiṅgalākṣaiḥ khaṃ prāvṛṣeṇyairiva cānaśe'bdaiḥ. ² A

year; (comp. Śaṅkara on the Vedānta S. IV. 3. 2.: vāyu-

mabdādaviśeṣaviśeṣābhyām). ³ The name of a mountain.

⁴ The name of a grass (Cyperus rotundus); see mustaka; ac-

cording to the Nighantaprakāśa, Cyperus pertenuis; see bha-

dramustaka or nāgaramustaka. E. ap and da, with the udātta on

the first syllable; the Uṇṇādi S. however propose to derive

the word from av ‘to protect’, uṇ. aff. dan, when the word

would sound abda; and Nṛsinha's Swaramanjari pretends

that it comes from ad ‘to eat’, with d changed to b, uṇ.

aff. dan. [The Calc. and Petersb. edd. of Hemachandra's

Abhidhānach. have (2. 73. or v. 159.) the incorrect reading

abdam, as if the word were a neuter; an excellent Ms. of

this portion, belonging to the R. A. S. has the correct form

abdaḥ and the comm. of Vallabhagaṇi says nothing of the

word being m. or n.].
