Commentary
In the छन्दस् (Vedas) the affix ञ्युट् comes after the verb वह् 'to carry' when it is in composition with the words कव्य 'oblation of food to deceased ancestors', पुरीष 'faeces' and पुरीष्य 'water'.
As कव्यवाहनः पितॄणाम् (Yajur. Ved. II.29) 'fire that carries the oblation to the pitris'; पुरीषवाहनः 'carrier of water'; पुरीष्यवाहनः (Yaj. Ved. (XI.44)). The feminine of these words is formed by adding long ई ।
