    apehisvāgatā Bahuvr. f. (-sā) A festival or ceremony

    where undesired or uninvited people are denied admission.

    See the explanation s. v. apehivāṇijā. (This meaning is

    hypothetical; but as all the similar formations mentioned

    in the last named article imply the shutting out of un-

    desired objects, it will seem that svāgata is either to be taken

    in this compound as su-āgata ‘welcome’ in an ironical

    sense--comp. e. g. satya, sādhu--, or as sva-āgata ‘come

    on one's own account, uninvited’.) E. apehi (imper. of i

    with apa) and svāgata, scil. kriyā.
