apanuda

only in composition with śoka i. e. śokāpanuda; on which

word a Vārttika (Pāṇ. III. 2. 5.) observes that it does not

merely convey the negative notion ‘removing pain’ but the

positive idea ‘affording joy’, for the word which would ex-

press the negative meaning ‘removing pain’ is, according

to Patanjali and his comm. śokāpanoda. (Patanj. śokāpa-

nudaḥ putro jātaḥ…yaśca śokamapanudati śokāpanodaḥ ...

Kaiyy. yaḥ saṃsārānityatodbhāvanādinā śokameva nivartayati

na tu sukhamutpādayati sa śokāpanodaḥ ... Siddhāntak. yaśca saṃ-

sārāsāratvopadeśena śokamapanudati sa śokāpanodaḥ.) In this

sense therefore are to be understood passages like: paurā

nivartadhvamiti nyagadīttātasya śokāpanudā bhaveta; or śarmadaṃ mā-

rutiṃ dūtaṃ viṣamasthaḥ kapidvipam . śokāpanudamavyagraṃ prāyuṅkta ka-

pikuñjaraḥ ... E. nud with apa, kṛt aff. ka.
