(caus. of parinamati) "to bend to, to change into, to turn to use for somebody, to apportion, to destine.” Mahadevi Bapisirinikī apino wilaram Hanmasirinikan parināmetuna (C2, l. 7) and Mahadevi Chhathisiri apano mīlara Ilanmasirinikan parināmetuna (
C4, 1. 7). It is clear that parināmetunz is used here in the same sense as purato katunar in the Jaggayyapeta inscriptions: apano mātaran Nāgalinin purato katunań "having associaterl (with him) his mother Nägalini" (Bühier). In the expression apano ubhaya-kulaṁ parināmetuna (B 2, l. 5; C , l. 8; O 5, 1. 4) it is also used with the object in the accusative. Elsewhere we find apano ubhaya-kulasa atichhitam-anāgata-rata mānake or ratamānakānain in which the connection with the absolutivum parinūmetuna is not clear. Cf.
