अपस्पृच् (apaspRc)

 
Goldstucker
English
अपस्पृच् (?) Tatpur. m. f. n. (-क्-क्-क्) (ved.) (Perhaps.) Yield-
ing, giving
in the Ātharvav. 13. 1. 27: वि मिमीष्वव पयस्व-
तीं घृताचीं देवानां धेनुरनपस्पृगेषा ‘make her to have milk
and to become possessed of butter for the gods: this cow
does not yield any’. E. स्पृच् (= पृच्) with अप, or पृच्
with अप, āgāma सुट्, kṛt aff. क्विप्. [This interpretation
is hypothetical, in want of a comm. to the Atharv. The
same meaning might result in deriving अपस्पृक् from अपस्पृश्
‘sprinkling, shedding’, the radicals पृच् and स्पृश् being
connected in origin
but the former seems more natural.]
