abhīṣu

1 A ray of light.

2 A rein.

3 Love, lust.

4 Passion.

E. abhi before iṣa to desire, and u affix or aśa to pervade, &c. whence, abhiśu.

⁴ Attachment, love. (The two first meanings in Amarak.,

Hem., Viśvapr., &c. for the two latter comp. Śabdaratnāv.:

abhīṣu pragrahe raśmau puṃsi kāmānurāgayoḥ. Bharata and

Mathureśa on the Amarak. admit the form abhīśu only for

the meaning ‘ray’ (in the classical dialect); Mallin. on the

Śiśupālab. 16. 51. however observes that all the words which

are given by the Koshas as ending in ṣ, occur in the vaidic

and in the classical language with a final ś: viśvaprakā-

śādayaḥ sarve'pyabhidhānikā mūrdhanyānteṣu ye lokavedayostāla-

vyāntā dṛśyante. Comp. abhīśu.) E. see abhīśu, with ṣ for

ś; but the comm. on the Amarak. derive the word from

iṣ with abhi, kṛt aff. u; or abhi (= abhigata) and iṣu;

this E. is without any probability.
