    abhilāṣa Tatpur. m. (-ṣaḥ) Desire, craving, covetousness;

    e. g. Vijnāneśvara on Manu (kāmāddaśaguṇaṃ, scil. daṇḍyaḥ &c.):

    kāmaḥ strīvyatikarābhilāṣaḥ; or Kirātārj.: yastyaktavānvaḥ sa

    vṛthā balādvā mohaṃ vidhatte viṣayābhilāṣaḥ; or Nyāya S.: pre-

    tyāhārābhyāsakṛtātstanyābhilāṣāt; or Sāṅkhya Prav.: yathā

    duḥkhāddūṣeḥ puruṣasya na tathā sukhādabhilāṣaḥ; or Daśakumārach.:

    nṛtyotthitā ca sā siddhilābhaśodhinī kiṃ vilāsātkimabhilā-

    ṣātkimakasmādeva na jāne &c.; or an Aśvaśāstra: aśvavāha-

    nādyabhilāṣaiḥ śvetāśvaḥ sarvakāmadaḥ.--Amongst the works on

    poetry which distinguish in their definition of Love (see

    śṛṅgāra), Love under difficulties (see vipralambha) and Love the

    course of which runs smooth (see saṃbhoga), the Kāvyapra-

    kāsa mentions abhilāṣa or longing as one (the first in the

    given enumeration) of the five erotic conditions of the first

    kind; the Sāhityadarp. which subdivides ‘Love under dif-

    ficulties’ into four categories, names longing (abhilāṣaḥ

    spṛhā) as one (the first in the given enumeration) of the ten

    erotic conditions of the pūrvarāga or ‘affection arising from

    hearing or sight before the lovers meet’, which is the first

    of those subdivisions; either work quoting as an instance

    the verse of the Mālatīm., ed. Calc. p. 76, line 4 &c. Similarly

    the Saṅgītadāmodara. Bharata as quoted by Śaṅkara on the

    Śākuntala, calls ‘longing’ the commencement of love (prathame

    tvabhilāṣaḥ syāt, and in the same words the Saṅgītad.) when

    Śāk. v. 22. (ed. Boehtlingk) or v. 24. (ed. Williams) would

    be an instance. An example, however, of abhilāṣa as be-

    longing to the other description of the Erotic (the saṃbhoga),

    is in the verse of the Bhaṭṭik.: āliṅgitāyāḥ sahasā trapā-

    vāṃstrāsābhilāṣānugato ratādau viśvāsitāyā ramaṇena badhvā

    vimardaramyo madano babhūva.--[An objectionable reading is

    abhilāsa, for the word is given in the form abhilāṣa

    not only in the commentaries on the Dhātupāthas s. r.

    laṣ (not s. r. las), but as an antyamūrdhanya in the chapter

    on orthography of the Viśvapr. and amongst the words

    that contain a only in a similar treatise by Purushottama.]

    E. laṣ with abhi, kṛt aff. ghañ.
