Abfhati
ābṛhati (and āvṛhati; see also āvṛṃhati ) both occur in Skt. in mg. extracts, draws out , and in Pali as abbahati, abbuhati, abbū°, abbāheti, id. (as, thorns); both are so used also in BHS ; but in BHS they both (oftener, it seems, spelled with v) have also the meaning exclusively noted for āvarhati , restores (a monk to good standing), which in Pali is abbheti (noun, abbhāna), apparently from Skt. āhvayati. I shall record such mgs. , even where texts read āb°, under āvarhati ; in BHS the two groups are not clearly distinguishable. They may even be identical in origin, as N. Dutt holds, MSV iii.74 n. 3 ( withdrawal of offences committed by the monk implies restoration to good standing); so also in essence, tho doubtfully, Finot, Prāt 488 n. 1 . But on this theory it is hard to explain Pali abbheti (abbhāna), and I incline to believe that BHS has a secondary and confused blend, in which a form close to the Pali , meaning recall , was adapted to the word meaning extract, remove .
