abadhā

Colebrooke:) ‘From the point, where a perpendicular fall-

ing from the apex meets the base, the two portions or di-

visions of the ground on their respective sides (or, if the

perpendicular fall without the figure in an obtuse-angled

one, on the same side) are distinguished by this name’

(‘lambasya pārśvadvayayoranyatamā bhūmiḥ’); e. g. in the Līlavatī:

daśasaptadaśapramau bhujau tribhuje yatra navapramā mahī . abadhe vada

lambakaṃ tathā gaṇitaṃ gāṇitikāśu tatra me.--Also ābādhā

or avabādhā (not avabadhā). E. Probably the curtailed form

of ābādhā, unless it be more correct to write the word

avadhā, when the etym. would be dhā, with ava, kṛt aff.

aṅ; for the connexion between dhā and han see s. v. dhā.
