kharigataṁ

kharigate

accusative singular masculine of kharigate, past participle of kharigacchati (or treated as an adjective); possibly a variant or non-standard form of khārigata

  1. removed, taken away
  2. carried off

Analysis. The form appears to decompose as khari- (carrying, or from √har 'carry') + gata (gone, departed); however, the attestation and standard spelling are uncertain. It may be a regional or scribal variant.
