abhīṣṭa

E. abhi repeatedly, and iṣṭa wished.

beloved; (Rāyam. on the Amarak.: abhi punaḥ . punariṣṭama-

bhīṣṭam); e. g. Hitop.: prāṇā yathātmano'bhīṣṭā bhūtānāmapi

te tathā . ātmaupamyena bhūteṣu dayāṃ kurvanti sādhavaḥ; or Pancha-

tantra: āha ca . bho mitra tvaṃ vadhāya mayā samānīto bhāryā-

vākyena viśvāsya . tatsmaryatāmabhīṣṭadevatā. ² Wished, desired

(in general); e. g. Bhaṭṭik.: samāranta mamābhīṣṭāḥ saṃkalpā-

stvayyupāgate; or utkāreṣu ca dhānyānāmanabhīṣṭaparigrahāḥ (scil.

yūyaṃ yāta). ³ Optional, arbitrary, any one or any one

thing of several; e. g. Lilāvatī: [dvidhā bhavedrūpavibhāga evaṃ]

sthānaiḥ pṛthagvā guṇitaḥ sametaḥ . iṣṭonayuktena guṇena nighno'bhī-

ṣṭaghnaguṇyānvitavarjito vā (Colebrooke: [These (the preceding)

are two methods of subdivision by form.] Or multiply se-

parately by the places of figures and add the products to-

gether. Or multiply by the multiplicator diminished or

increased by a quantity arbitrarily assumed; adding or

subtracting the product of the multiplicand taken into the

assumed quantity); or Vījagaṇita: ṛṇātmikā cetkaraṇī

kṛtau syāddhanātmikāṃ tāṃ parikalpya sādhye . mūle karaṇyāvanayora-

bhīṣṭā kṣayātmikaikā sudhiyāvagamyā (Colebrooke: if there be a

negative surd-root in the square, treating that irrational

quantity as an affirmative one, let the two surds in the

root be found, and one of them, as selected by the intel-

ligent calculator, must be deemed negative).

2. m. (-ṣṭaḥ) A beloved person, a sweetheart; said

esp. of a man; e. g. Śiśupālab.: abhīṣṭamāsādya cirāya kāle

samuddhṛtāśaṃ kamanī cakāśe . yoṣinmanojanmasukhodayeṣu samuddhṛtā-

śaṅkamanīcakāśe; or (superl.) Sāhityad.: smitaśuṣkaruditaha-

sitatrāsakrodhaśramādīnām . sāṅkaryaṃ kilakiñcitamabhīṣṭatamasaṃga-

mādijāddharṣāt; but also used in a general sense of either

sex; e. g. Sāhityad.: tatra tu ratiḥ prakṛṣṭā nābhīṣṭamupaiti vi-

pralambho'sau (comm.: abhīṣṭaṃ nāyakaṃ nāyikāṃ vā).

3. f. (-ṣṭā) ¹ A beloved woman, a mistress. ² Betel

(Piper betel); see tāmbūlī. [Wilson's first ed. and Rādhāk.'s

Śabdakalpadr. give the meaning ‘perfume’ and refer for

its being a synonyme of reṇukā to the authority of the

Śabdachandrikā; but this reference contains an error, caused

perhaps by an omission of a copyist of the Śabdachandrikā.

The latter vocabulary has been composed by Chakrapāṇi-

datta with a view of being a supplement to the Amarak.;

it does not contain as much matter as this vocabulary nor

does it follow throughout its order; but in certain portions it

has the same order and it gives always literally the text of

the Amarak., wherever additional synonymes have been

intended by the author, these synonymes being either im-

mediately annexed by him to the words of the Amarak.

in a subsequent verse or pointed out through the repetition

of the word to be enlarged upon, which then is put in the

locative. The end of the enumeration is marked by the

repetition of the word synonymized, between two full stops.

Thus the Śloka of the Amarak. II. 4. 4. 8. which contains,

up to nāgavallī, synonymes of ‘piper betel’, and afterwards

those of the perfume reṇukā (viz. tāmbūlavallī tāmbūlī nāga-

vallyapyatha dvijā . hareṇū reṇukā kauntī kapilā bhasmagandhinī)

runs thus in the Bodleian copy of the Śabdach., of Professor

Wilson's collection: tāmbūlavallī tāmbūlī nāgavallyapyathā dvijā .

hareṇū reṇukā kauntī kapilā bhasmagandhinī . tāmbūlyāṃ kaṭukābhīṣṭā

devābhīṣṭā gṛhāśayā (these four words mean therefore Betel) .

reṇukāyāṃ bhavejjyotsnī kṛtāntā kharanādinī . varāvaramukhī

pucchārśoghnī śyāmā varatkarī (and these eight words the per-

fume Reṇukā) .. reṇukākhye gandhadravye ... The mentioned Ms.

omits, as may be observed, (contrary to its practice, and

merely from carelessness of the copyist,) the ending word,

.. tāmbūlī .., before reṇukāyāṃ, and as it has served both,

Professor Wilson and Rādhākaṇtadeva, the oversight be-

comes thus explainable.]

4. n. (-ṣṭam) ¹ A desired object, desire; e. g. Sāhityad.:

jñānābhīṣṭāgamādyaistu saṃpūrṇaspṛhatā dhṛtiḥ; or Bhaṭṭik.: kva ca

khyāto raghorvaṃśaḥ kva tvaṃ paragṛhoṣitā . anyasmai hṛdayaṃ dehi

nānabhīṣṭe ghaṭāmahe (Jayam.: = anabhimate viṣaye; Bharatas.:

= anucite vastuni). ² The name of a plant; see tilaka;

(according to the Nigh. Prak.; but as the gender is not

given in this work, it is doubtful whether the word is in

this sense a m. or a n.). E. iṣ with abhi, kṛt aff. kta;

in the first meaning perhaps better abhi and iṣṭa.

mfn. (-ṣṭaḥ-ṣṭā-ṣṭaṃ) Wished, desired.

f. (-ṣṭā) A perfume. See reṇukā.

E.
