Commentary

In the छन्दस् (Vedas) the words 1. परिपन्थिन् and 2. परिपरिण् are anomalously formed by this affix and have the sense of 'an antagonist'.
The word पर्यवस्थातृ means 'an adversary, an antagonist'. Thus मा त्वा॑ परिप॒रिणो॑ विद॒न् मा त्वा॑ परिपं॒थिनो विद॒न् (Yaj. Ved. IV. 34). These words are obsolete in secular literature. See however Gita III.34.
