The Practical Sanskrit-English Dictionary

पृषोदरः [pṛṣōdarḥ]   Wind, air. (The word is supposed to be compounded of पृषत् and उदर, the त् of पृषत् being dropped as an irregular case. The word is thus taken as the type of a whole class of such irregular compounds.) पूषोदरादित्वात् साधुः, see Gaṇa. to [P.VI.3.19.]

Shabda-Sagara

पृषोदर  mfn.  ( -रः-रा-रं) Having a spot or circle on the belly. According to Professor Turkabāchaspati:-- पृषः दिवोदरं यस्य पृषो० तलोपः
1. Small- bellied, and पृषन्ति उदरे यस्य.
2. Air, wind. But in his other works this word is taken as a type of such irregular compounds. Accor- ding to others:--E. पृषत् a drop of any thing liquid, and उदर the belly, form irregular and special; the word is most commonly in use as a grammatical term, being the leading word of a class in which the formation of each is peculiar to itself, and being thence applied to designate the rule which comprehends the whole of the series.
