apālaṅka

The word is udātta on the last syllable. E.? (The Sid-

dhāntakaum. in its chapter, the phiṭsūtra, gives the word

only in its crude form, whence the masc. gender could not

be established; in the E. I. H. Ms. No. 98 of these Sūtras

the comm. writes once apālaṅkā and another time apālaṅkaḥ,

the latter being probably the correct form, to judge from the

synonymes and the form pālaṅka which seems kindred to it.)
