_______________________________________________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

>>> Harry Spier via INDOLOGY <indology@list.indology.info> 09.12.19 1.19 Uhr >>>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
