given anywhere, to my knowledge; its form is mentioned
in the Vārtt. apoyāni° to Pāṇ. VI. 3. 1., but on its cor-
rectness the doctors disagree: Nagojibh. (who alone of the
older comm. on Pāṇini subjects it to a remark) finds that
it is a proper form, but states at the same time that some
believe it a wrong reading in the Bhāṣya instead of apsu-
mat (aff. matu); Bhaṭṭojid. in the Prauḍham., on the other
hand, denies flatly its occurence in Patanjali or anywhere
else; Nagojibh.: apsumatiriti . vṛttiharidattādayastu vārttike
