अभीवृत Tatpur. m. f. n. (-तः-ता-तम्) (ved.)
^1 Surrounded,
accompanied.
^2 Covered, obscured.--In the Ṛgv.-verse
I. 164. 29.: अयं शिङ्क्ते येन गौरभीवृता मिमाति मायुं ध्वस-
नावधि श्रिता, Sāyaṇa who supplies to अयं the word वत्सः
and takes the latter as a metaphorical expression for the
world desiring rain, and ‘the cow’ as the cloud, renders
the beginning words: येन वत्सेन गौर्माताभीवृता आगत्या-
भितो वेष्टिता भवति
Durga on Yāska 2. 9. supplies to
अयं the word मेघ and renders गौः ‘voice, speech’: अयं
मेघः शब्दायते शब्दमिव करोति तावदसौ शब्दं
करोति अथ तावन्माध्यमिकायां वाचि तत्स्थायां शब्दं
कुर्वत्यां तत्साहचर्याद्विज्ञायते एव शब्दं करोतीति येन
मेघेन किं कृतमिति येन गौरभीवृता येन माध्यमिका वा-
गभिप्रच्छादिता सती मिमाति मायुं निर्मिमीते निर्वर्तयति
मायुं शब्दं करोतीत्यर्थः
in Roth's ed. of the Nirukta (2. 9.)
अभिप्रवृत्ता must therefore be corrected to अभिप्रवृता,
the former being contrary to the sense and unsupported by
the gloss of Durga. E. वृ with अभि, kṛt aff. क्त, with
the second syllable protracted (as noticed by the Ṛgv.
Prātiś.).
