Entry 16236, Page 577, Col. 2 -
(saMpratigrAhin, saMpratigrAhin)
saṃpratigrāhin¦, adj. or n. ag. (to Skt. saṃ-prati- grah- with -in; cf. prec.), accepting, one who accepts: taṃ nūnam agrasattvo hy agrāhuti-°hī LV 316.8 (vs), prob. therefore surely the Supreme Being is accepting the supreme offering. So Lefm. implies, by printing °huti-saṃ° as one word. In JAOS 57.22 I took the form as an aor. of °grāha- yati (which is not recorded), in the mg. of °gṛhṇāti; this still seems to me possible, but I now prefer the inter- pretation given above.
