Dear Harry Spier,

unfortunately I have not come across the word praṇat- yet, but it
(*praṇát-) might be formed depending on pāda c’s bhūbhr̥t- from the
prefixed root-noun pra-nm̥-t-, similar to nasal-root compounds e.g. in
°gat. Question is indeed, if this nasal derivative is productive.

Best,


Raik Strunz

  Dear list members,
 Verse 3 of a version of the  Devi Suktam I have agrees with  the verse
in the Markendaya Purana in GRETIL.


  kalyāṇyai praṇatāṁ vṛddhyai siddhyai kurmo namo namaḥ
  nairṛtyai bhūbhṛtāṁ lakṣmyai śarvāṇyai te namo namaḥ


I've been told  praṇatāṁ is the genitive plural of the noun praṇat .
But  praṇat is not in Monier-Williams or in Bohtlink-Roth .
Note: nat is in MW    "nat mfn. (√ nam) bowing, bowing one's self
(ifc.)"
but not in Boehtlink-Roth.
1) Can someone confirm that   praṇatāṁ in the verse is genitive plural
of  praṇat (and not feminine accusative of   praṇatā)
2) Has anyone come across the noun  praṇat anywhere in the literature.
Thanks,
Harry Spier
