Namaste friends,

 

Thanks to the experts who have helped me so far. Here is a new question: In

verse 73 of the Guru Gita is the compound

 

aneka-janma-sampraapta-sarva-karma-vidaahine

 

see http://www.pranakasha.com/guru_gita/verses_67-x.shtml

 

Vidaahine is not to be found in Apte but is translated in my chanting book as

"who burns". I'm assuming this is a variation of vi + daa.h put into an

alternate declension. However I would expect vi to change the meaning to "lack

of burning", "taking away the burning of", etc.

 

Within the verse, a sensible translation is "Who burns all the karmas obtained

from countless births", however I am not yet convinced that this is correct.
