    abhijña Tatpur. 1. m. f. n. (-jñaḥ-jñā-jñam) Knowing, under-

    standing, conversant with, skilled in; e. g. Sāṅkhyat. Kaum.:

    iṣṭāpūrtena dākṣiṇaḥ puruṣatatvānabhijño hīṣṭāpūrtakārī kāmopa-

    hatamanā vadhyate; or Bhaṭṭik.: indrajidvikramābhijño manvāno

    vānaraṃ jitam…agāt &c.; when not compounded with

    a preceding noun, the object of knowledge stands in the

    genit. or locat.; thus the comm. of the Bhaṭṭik. explain

    viyogaduḥkhānubhāvānabhijñaiḥ, viyogaduḥkhasya yo'nubhavaḥ .

    anubhavanam . tasyānabhijñaiḥ or tatrānabhijñaiḥ. E. jñā with abhi,

    kṛt aff. ka.

    2. f. (-jñā) 1 Remembrance, recollection (Kāśikā: =

    smṛtiḥ); e. g. Bhaṭṭik.: nābhijñā te mahārāja jeṣyāvaḥ śakra-

    pālitam…nābhijñā te sayakṣendraṃ bhakṣyāvo yadyamaṃ balāt;

    or Lalitav.: dhyānapāramitādharmālokamukhaṃ sarvajñānābhijñotpā-

    dāya vikṣiptacittasattvaparipācanatāyai saṃvartate. 2 (In Buddhistic

    doctrine.) Supernatural knowledge, a supernatural faculty

    attached to the Arhatship; there are five, or according to

    some six, such faculties viz. 1. the faculty of divine sight,

    i. e. the faculty of seeing, without obstacle, all beings and

    bodies, of whatever kind, in the totality of the worlds;

    2. that of divine hearing, i. e. the faculty of understanding

    all words of joy or grief uttered by the beings, and all

    sounds of whatever kind uttered in all the worlds (or ‘the

    power to hear all sounds whether distant or near, whether

    made by devas or men’: Spence Hardy's Eastern Monachism);

    3. that of knowing the thoughts of other beings; 4. that

    of knowing former existences or what births have been

    got in former ages; 5. magic power or the power to

    assume any shape, to pass without obstacle over seas and

    mountains, and to disappear from one world for the sake

    of reappearing in another; to these some add: 6. āśra-

    vakshaya, (which according to Burnouf probably means)

    the power of destroying defects or vices. (See Burnouf's

    Lotus de la bonne loi p. 820 seqq.; there is a difference be-

    tween this enumeration and that of Hardy in his Eastern

    Monachism (p. 284): he has but five abhijnās, identifies the

    magic power and the āśravakṣaya without defining how-

    ever either term, omits the first (the faculty of divine

    sight) and has an abhijnā not named by Burnouf: the

    power of knowing what births will be received in fu-

    ture ages). Compare ṣaḍabhijña. E. jñā with abhi, kṛt

    aff. aṅ; (but meaning 2. is probably better analyzed

    abhi and jñā).
