स्विन्न • (svinná) stem

1. sweated, sweating, perspiring, covered in perspiration
   • c. 1200 BCE – 800 BCE, Śukla-Yajurveda (Vājasenayi Saṃhitā) 20.20:

     द्रु॒प॒दादि॑व मुमुचा॒नः स्वि॒न्नः स्ना॒तो मला॑दिव।
     पू॒तं प॒वित्रे॑णे॒वाज्य॒मापः॑ शुन्धन्तु॒ मैन॑सः॥

     drupadā́diva mumucānáḥ svinnáḥ snātó málādiva.
     pūtáṃ pavítreṇevā́jyamā́paḥ śundhantu maínasaḥ.

     As one unfastened from a stake, or cleansed by bathing after having sweated,
     As butter which the sieve hath purged, let water clean me from my sin.

   • c. 700 CE – 900 CE, Bhāgavata Purāṇa 10.9.18:

     स्वमातुः स्विन्नगात्राया विस्रस्तकबरस्रजः। द‍ृष्ट्वा परिश्रमं कृष्णः कृपयासीत् स्वबन्धने॥

     Because of mother Yaśodā’s hard labor, her whole body was sweating, and the flowers and comb were falling from her hair. When child Kṛṣṇa saw his mother thus fatigued, he became merciful to her and agreed to be bound.

   • c. 700 CE – 900 CE, Bhāgavata Purāṇa 10.56.25:

     कृष्णमुष्टिविनिष्पातनिष्पिष्टाङ्गोरुबन्धनः। क्षीणसत्त्वः स्विन्नगात्रस्तमाहातीव विस्मितः॥

     kṛṣṇamuṣṭiviniṣpātaniṣpiṣṭāṅgorubandhanaḥ. kṣīṇasattvaḥ svinnagātrastamāhātīva vismitaḥ.

     His bulging muscles pummeled by the blows of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s fists, his strength faltering and his limbs perspiring, Jāmbavat, greatly astonished, finally spoke to the Lord.

   • c. 700 CE – 900 CE, Bhāgavata Purāṇa 10.36.12:

     सोऽपविद्धो भगवता पुनरुत्थाय सत्वरम्। आपतत् स्विन्नसर्वाङ्गो निःश्वसन्क्रोधमूर्च्छितः॥

     soʼpaviddho bhagavatā punarutthāya satvaram. āpatat svinnasarvāṅgo niḥśvasankrodhamūrcchitaḥ.

     Thus repulsed by the Supreme Lord, the bull demon got up and, breathing hard and sweating all over his body, again charged him in a mindless rage.
