? nirgarati , perhaps rather nirgalati, spits out : LV 306.21 (prose) nirgaranto; but best mss. nirgalanto; object ayoguḍāni, spitting forth . Cf. BR s.v. gal plus nis, nirgalitāmbugarbhaṃ śaradghanam Ragh. 5.17 , which could very well mean an autumn cloud that has ejected its water-content . On the other hand, nirgīrṇa is recorded in BR once from Rām. Neither nir-gṝ nor nir-gal seems recorded otherwise, in Skt. or MIndic . Since galati is the regular present to gal, it seems more likely that the best mss. of LV have the true form, nirgalanto.
