accompanied. 2 Covered, obscured.--In the Ṛgv.-verse
I. 164. 29.: ayaṃ sa śiṅkte yena gaurabhīvṛtā mimāti māyuṃ dhvasa-
nāvadhi śritā, Sāyaṇa who supplies to ayaṃ the word vatsaḥ
and takes the latter as a metaphorical expression for the
world desiring rain, and ‘the cow’ as the cloud, renders
the beginning words: yena vatsena gaurmātābhīvṛtā . āgatyā-
bhito veṣṭitā bhavati; Durga on Yāska 2. 9. supplies to
ayaṃ the word megha and renders gauḥ ‘voice, speech’: ayaṃ
sa meghaḥ śabdāyate śabdamiva karoti . na ca tāvadasau śabdaṃ
karoti . atha ca tāvanmādhyamikāyāṃ vāci tatsthāyāṃ śabdaṃ
kurvatyāṃ tatsāhacaryādvijñāyate sa eva śabdaṃ karotīti . yena
meghena kiṃ kṛtamiti . yena gaurabhīvṛtā . yena mādhyamikā vā-
gabhipracchāditā satī mimāti māyuṃ nirmimīte nirvartayati
māyuṃ śabdaṃ karotītyarthaḥ; in Roth's ed. of the Nirukta (2. 9.)
abhipravṛttā must therefore be corrected to abhipravṛtā,
the former being contrary to the sense and unsupported by
the gloss of Durga. E. vṛ with abhi, kṛt aff. kta, with
the second syllable protracted (as noticed by the Ṛgv.
Prātiś.).
