क्षीयति (kSIyati)

English
? kṣīyati (= Pali khīyati), is vexed
so Senart at Mv 〔ii.480.2, 4〕
text in 2 (sā …) tāsām antaḥpurikānāṃ ruṣyati kṣīyati (but v.l. kṣipati) paribhāṣati, in 4 kiṃ tuvaṃ asmākaṃ ruṣyasi kṣīyasi (but both mss. kṣipasi or °pesi) paribhāṣasi (mss. °ṣesi). Since one ms. in 2, and both in 4, have forms of kṣip, which in normal Skt. means scold, revile, it seems at least likely that we should read kṣipati, °si. See, however, s.vv. vivācayati, dhriyati.
