बृसयbṛsaya(Ved.) a. Mighty, great; यथा सरस्वतीदेवताके निगदे 'सरस्वति देवनिदो निबर्हय प्रजां विश्वस्य बृसयस्य मायिनः' इति…

(Vedic) Adjective Mighty, great; यथा सरस्वतीदेवताके निगदे 'सरस्वति देवनिदो निबर्हय प्रजां विश्वस्य बृसयस्य मायिनः' इति बृसयशब्दो बृहच्छब्दार्थं गमयति ŚB. on MS.1.1.32. [बृसय according to Śabara brings to our mind the word बृहत् just as गावी etc. remind us of गौः. This would mean that बृसय, according to Śabara, is an अपभ्रंश.]
