'to pluck, to pull out'.] 99. Nivāvana- 36 1 11 'extinguishing'.

ņivāvana- is derived from Sk, nirvāpana-. See univ - ] 100 Nisambh- 'to destory, to fell on the ground and rub violently,
to curb, check: nisumbhai (pres. 3. s) 76 10 6; nisuinbhae (pres. 3. s.) 7 16 1; nisumbhi( y )a--(p.p.) 7 56, 73 10 2; nisumbhaa-(p.p.) 71 18 7, 76 4 9.
=cürnitam sat naśyati (gl. at 73 10 2); at 7 16 1 nisumbhae is loosely rendered with vaśyam karoti; but it is a special development of mardana, at 7 5 6 nisuibhia, is loosely rendered with praksi pta-, it should be nipatila-, cf. PSM. nisurbhia-=nipatita and nisumbhana-- mardana-, vyapadana-; vinasa-, cf. nisumbh- occurring in this sense in JC. at 2 15 7; connected with Sk. ni-sumbh-, 'to kill, harm, lujure'.
See nisumbha- below.] 101. Ņisumbha- 3 14 19, 35 1 4, 57 5 5 'destroyer'.
evidhvamsaka-, sphetaka-(gl. at 3 14 19 and 57 5 5); at 35 1 4 the gloss loosely renders nisumbha, with sparsini-. At 3 14 19 and at 35 1 4 the context is the description of tall and high mansions. Hence, here the expressions "abbhayam nisumbha" and "nahagganisumbha," are used just like the Sk. expression "abhralih-' which means 'licking the clouds or scraping the clouds', and hence touching' (sparsini-). These are the ornate expressions to copnote'as tall as the sky, penetrate through the clouds, destroy the clouds as it were'. MW. notes nisumbha- as a proper name of a Danava- quoting from
Harivaṁsa. Seewņisuņbh-. ] 102. Nibā( y )a -9 21 4, 18 13 8, 19 7 12, 20 22 12, 28 25 8, 29 3 6,
