e. g. Vājas.: sapta ṛṣayaḥ pratihitāḥ śarīre sapta rakṣanti sada-
mapramādam. [The meaning of this word would apparently
also result from the Bahuvr. apramāda taken as a neuter in
the accus., but as the latter is udātta on the last syllable,
and as apramādam is in the Vedas udātta on the first, it
seems necessary to distinguish both forms etymologically.]
E. a neg. and pramādam (mad with pra, kṛt aff. ṇamul).
