    Goldstücker Sanskrit-English Dictionary

    p. 237, col. 2.
    abhikṣadā Tatpur. f. (-dā) (ved.) The act of destroying, de-

    struction; applied as an epithet in the sense of ‘destroyer’

    to Aryaman, in the Ṛgv. verse: huve vo devīmaditiṃ namo-

    bhirmṛḻīkāya varuṇaṃ mitramagnim . abhikṣadāmaryamaṇaṃ suśevam &c.

    (Sāyaṇa: abhikṣadām . kṣadirhiṃsākarma . abhikṣattāraṃ śatrūṇāṃ

    hiṃsitāram &c.). E. kṣad with abhi, kṛt aff. aṅ (?); E.

    and meaning seem to result not merely from the quoted

    comm. of Sāyaṇa, but from the Pada text which divides

    abhi'kṣadā (not abhikṣa'dā).

    abhikṣadā abhi-kṣadā, f., Ved. (according

    to native interpretation) destroying, a destroyer. It

    m. giving without having been asked.
