anupariyā

 The Sanskrit term "anupariyā" can be interpreted as “filling or completing after” or “subsequently filling,” derived from the root anu-√pṝ, where “anu” implies following or after, and “pṝ” means to fill or complete.

Etymology and Structure

The word anupariyā likely breaks down into:

• anu-: a Sanskrit prefix meaning “after,” “following,” or “subsequently”
• pṛ / pṝ: a verbal root meaning “to fill” or “to complete”
• -iyā: a suffix forming a verbal noun or agent-related form, corresponding
• to an action or state arising from the root.

Thus, anu-√pṝ conveys the idea of following or completing something 

in succession, consistent with causative forms like “to fill after” 

or “to supply subsequently”
