(samUhati, samUhati)
? samūhati¦, raises: āśvāsapraśvāsā uparudhvā (mss. [Page575-a+ 71] °ruddhā) ūrdhvaṃ śīṛṣakapālaṃ vātā praharetsu samū- hetsuḥ (v.l. samuttejetsuḥ) Mv ii.125.6; I believe this would have to be an anomalous denom. to samūhata, q.v., in the different meaning of raised, which is found also with ūhata, q.v.; or at least, this form, if correct, must have been influenced by that word. But it may be that we should read samūhanetsuḥ, to *samūhanati, on the basis of the Pali parallel MN i.243.23 vātā muddhānaṃ ūhananti (raise); the LV version is confused and doubtful, vāyur ūrdh(v)aṃ śiraḥkapālam (mss. °lām) upanihanti (v.l. upasaṃharati) 252.1, and āśvāsapraśvāsā ūrdh(v)aṃ śiraḥkapālam (v.l. °lā) upanighnanti (v.l. samuvaghnanti) 3--4; Senart implausibly connects the word with the noun samūha, detaching it from its evident direct object śīrṣa- kapālaṃ.
