वरण्डvaraṇḍaA multitude, group.
[वृ-अण्डच् Un.1.12]
- A multitude, group.
- A pimple or eruption on the face.
- A veranda.
- A heap of grass.
- The string of a fish-hook.
- Pocket.
- The middle part of the sacrificial altar (वेदी); see वरण्डक. (The word वरण्डलम्बुक in यदिदानीमहं वरण्डलम्बुक इव दूरमुत्क्षिप्य पातितः Mk.1. is of doubtful meaning; it seems to mean 'an over-hanging or projecting wall', which, if raised high, is sure to topple down; so in the case of the Sūtradhāra whose expectations were raised very high only to be cruelly disappointed. वरण्ड may mean a contrivance for drawing water from a well (named आकती in Marathi) and लम्बुक is its handle.)
