The Practical Sanskrit-English Dictionary

वरण्डः [varaṇḍḥ]   [वृ-अण्डच् [Un.1.12] ]
A multitude, group.
A pimple or eruption on the face.
A veranda.
A heap of grass.
The string of a fish-hook.
Pocket.
The middle part of the sacrificial altar (वेदी); see वरण्डक. (The word वरण्डलम्बुक in यदिदानीमहं वरण्डलम्बुक इव दूरमुत्क्षिप्य पातितः [Mk.1.] is of doubtful meaning; it seems to mean 'an over-hanging or projecting wall', which, if raised high, is sure to topple down; so in the case of the Sūtradhāra whose expectations were raised very high only to be cruelly disappointed. वरण्ड may mean a contrivance for drawing water from a well (named आकती in Marathi) and लम्बुक is its handle.)
