अप्रतिवर्णनीय (aprativarNanIya)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
aprati-varṇanīya, in LV 〔411.10〕, incomparably worthy of praise, in a list of complimentary epithets of sounds (śabda), after nirvarṇanīya, praiseworthy. I believe that aprati- must be recognized as used in Skt. as prior element in cpds. in this sense, as e.g. in aprati-cakra (pw) and aprati-karman (commonly analyzed as a-pratikarman
but there is no record of any *pratikarman in the sense of a corresponding action, and the immediate constituents seem to me clearly aprati and karman). Tib. zla med pa, matchless, for aprati.
