This word is often found in the MBh., particularly as applied to woman, and always with this meaning. As a commentary take i, 229.9, 13: anāvṛita = apratishiddhabhoga; vii, 40.36 compared with 44.13 = asamyata. It has also the meaning: unclad, naked, and so Jacobi takes it here. Context, use of words, and çl. 14 forbid this rendering, important as this further statement would be. - [Previous: v1.c5.360](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.meyer-1915.v1.c5.360) - [Next: v1.c5.362](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.meyer-1915.v1.c5.362) - [Up: v1.c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.meyer-1915.v1.c5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.meyer-1915.v1.c5.361](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.meyer-1915.v1.c5.361) · Pramāṇa
