अप्नस्वत्

From Proto-Indo-Iranian *Hápnaswāns, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃ep-. By surface analysis, अप्नस् (apnas, “darkness”) +‎ -वत् (-vat). Cognate with Avestan 𐬀𐬟𐬥𐬀𐬤𐬵𐬀𐬧𐬙 (afnaŋᵛhaṇt, “rich in property”) and distantly with Latin opulentus.

     अप्न॑स्वती॒ मम॒ धीर॑स्तु शक्र वसु॒विदं॒ भग॑मि॒न्द्रा भ॑रा नः ॥

     kímaṅgá tvā maghavanbhojámāhuḥ śiśīhí mā śiśayáṃ tvā śṛṇomi.
