as 'a hiding place'. Griffithi translates it as 'from the cave'. Peterson remarks that this word is a Vedic locative of the same kind as 'guha' in the next verse and translates it as 'cave':
Zimmerman translates it as 'from the enclosure'. He compares it with II, 14, 3 ; UT TI SITT E qua:
Macdonell4 also translates it as 'by the unclosing', 'On the basis of feminine forms, he remarks that it can only be the instrumental singular of Apadha'. He takes 'Valasya' as objective genitive i.e. by opening (the cave of ) Vala. Velankar seems to follow Roth when he takes 'Apadhā' as instrumental singular of Apadha on the analogy of एकया प्रतिधा-प्रतिधानेन in Vill; 77, 1,
Sāyaṇa took it as irregularity for the ablative, by goi agt 441 34:
Durga,? the commentator on Nirukta explains the form by 3194199 as meaning 369a by the enclosing.
As has been seen above, Venkata Madhavas too while explaining it as fargefafgar: has indicated indirectly to the feminine base with 'ã' ending.

An analogous case it that of the word fags occurring in the form of fagur in R V, X, 73, 11 :
वयः सुपर्णा उप सेदुरिन्दुं प्रियमेधा ऋषयो नाधमानाः । अप ध्वान्तभृणु हि पूधि चक्षु'-मुमुग्ध्य_ 'स्मान् निधयेव बद्धान ।।
The word far is found in the Naigamakāņda of the fourth chapter of Nirukta.
Mukund Jha Bakshi in his notes on Nirukta explains निधा as "आतश्चोपसर्ग" sfa ( 91. 309.87€) # TETÀ 3 ( 41. 3.3.808) ar Erfa fafa yafai
This supports our thesis about the nature of the form of 299. In point of accent too, the form te resembles fate.
