e. g. Yājnav.: nṛpārtheṣvabhiśāpe ca vaheyuḥ śucayaḥ sadā (Mit.:

nṛpadroheṣu mahāpātakābhiyoge ca); or sāhasasteyapāruṣyago'bhi-

śāpātyaye striyām . vivādayetsadya eva kālo'nyatrecchayā

smṛtaḥ (Mit.: abhiśāpaḥ pātakābhiyogaḥ); or Kātyāy.: abhi-

śāpe samuttīrṇe prāyaścitte kṛte budhaiḥ . viśuddhipatrakaṃ deyam &c.;

or the same uttameṣu samasteṣu abhiśāpe samāgate . vṛttānuvāda-

lekhyaṃ yattajjñeyaṃ saṃdhipatrakam; or Vyāsa: bhāgābhiśāpasaṃdigdhe

yaḥ samyagvijayī bhavet . tasmai rājñā pradātavyaṃ jayapatraṃ suni-

ścitam. ² A curse, an imprecation (esp. uttered by a

Brāhmaṇa, a Guru, an old man and a magician; Vijaya-

rakshita as quoted by Rādhākaṇtad.: = brāhmaṇaguruvṛddhasiddhā-

nāmaniṣṭābhiśaṃsanam; Chakrapāṇidatta in his comm. Bhānu-

matī on Suśruta: abhiśāpo guruvṛddhasiddhācāryādibhirabhiśa-

panam); e. g. Nalop.: yasyābhiśāpādduḥkhārto duḥkhaṃ vindati

naiṣadhaḥ . tasya bhūtasya no duḥkhādduḥkhamapyadhikaṃ bhavet. According

to the medical superstition, a kind of fever is produced by

the imprecation of a Brāhmaṇa &c. the symptoms of which

are delirium and thirst and otherwise like those of the fever

produced by incantation (comp. abhicārajvara); e. g. Su-

śruta: abhicārābhiśāpābhyāṃ…jvaro pravartate; and abhi-

cārābhiśāpābhyāṃ mohastṛṣṇābhijāyate.--Also abhīśāpa.
