abdhi

abdhi m. (-bdhiḥ) The ocean.

E. ab substituted for ap water; dhi from dhā to have, and ki aff.

abdhi (bdhiḥ) 2. m. The ocean.

abdhi Tatpur. m. (-dhiḥ) ¹ The ocean; lit. and figur.; e. g.

(figur.) in the Nalodaya: api yo dāyādāya kṣayaprado'haṃsi

satāṃ yadāyā dāyaḥ . karamādāyādāya śriyo'bdhiradhirāja-

masigadāyādā yaḥ; or in the Rudrayāmalat.: sadā sevyo devaiḥ

sa bhavati naro bhaktisulabhaḥ . sa jīvanmukto'pi tarati ca bhavā-

bdhimacirataḥ. ² The name of one of the attendants of the

Sun (acc. to Vyāḍi on Hemach.). ³ (In mathematical lan-

guage sometimes used to denote) the numeral 4; e. g. in

Brahmagupta's Brāhmasiddhānta: parivartākhacatuṣṭayaśarābdhi-

rasaguṇayamadvivasutithayaḥ (comp. Colebr. As. Res. XII. p. 231

note); or kasyāsau ghaṭikāsaṃgho dyugaṇasya yadudbhavam . pañcābhra-

candrābdhimitaṃ vidhormaṇḍalaśeṣakam; or in the Keralagrantha, as

quoted by Rādhāk. (s. v. abhighāta): abhighātaṃ syātpūrvaṃ veda-

dvitryabdhivarṇāścet . nagavargāṇāṃ parato dharaṇīcandradvirāmāḍhyāḥ;

or in the Sūryasiddh. quoted Journ. As. XVI. p. 35. 1. 12.

Schlegel is probably correct when he ascribes this use of

the word to the division of the ocean according to the four

cardinal points of the compass (Refl. sur l'étude des langues

as. p. 198), but he is mistaken when he adds, that ‘ocean’

may designate also the numeral 7, for all the synonymes

of this word are only used to denote 4; comp. E. Jacquet

Journ. As. vol. XVI. (1835) p. 17. 104. and, besides Raffles

quoted there, Humboldt's Kawi Sprache I. p. 32.--E. ap

and dhi.
