English
अपेहिस्वागता Bahuvr. f. (-सा) A festival or ceremony
where undesired or uninvited people are denied admission.
See the explanation s. v. अपेहिवाणिजा. (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 स्वागत is either to be taken
in this compound as सु-आगत ‘welcome’ in an ironical
sense--comp. e. g. सत्य, साधु--, or as स्व-आगत ‘come
on one's own account, uninvited’.) E. अपेहि (imper. of
with अप) and स्वागत, scil. क्रिया.
