abhimānin

E. abhimāna and ini aff.

sophy.) Conceiving objects with the notion that they refer

exclusively to one's own self; esp., however, with the im-

plied sense that such conception is erroneous; (comp. abhi-

māna 1.); e. g. (in the Vedānta, the inferior degrees of the

absolute Spirit, each of which conceives the world as re-

ferring exclusively to itself) Ved. Sāra: etatsamaṣṭyupahitaṃ cai-

tanyaṃ vaiśvānaro virāḍiti cocyate sarvanarābhimānitvādvividhaṃ

rājamānatvācca ‘he is called Vaiśvānara, because he conceives

the whole of mankind as referring to him exclusively &c.’

(where the affix tva belongs to the whole compound sarvanara-

abhimānin). ² Conceiving (in general), but esp. with the

implied sense: conceiving erroneously, fancying, imagining;

e. g. Udyogap. Mahābh.: prajñābhimānī pratikūlavādī tyājyaḥ

sa tādṛktvarayaiva bhṛtyaḥ. ³ Personifying, personating; e. g. Śan-

kara in his comm. on the Chhānd. Up.: …te sarve'rciṣam

nte) &c. …. te dhūmaṃ (i. e.) dhūmābhimāninīṃ devatāmābhimu-

nāṃ devatānāṃ sattvāddevatātvam . abhimānivyapadeśastviti vyā-

sasūtrokteḥ; or saṃvatsarābhimānī prajāpatiḥ stūyate; or Sāy.: yadya-

pi tisra eva devatā ityuktatvātkṣityādyabhimāninyo devatāstisra

ninībhirdevatābhirupacchandyate ‘…by the deities who personated

the place’, i. e. who created in Purusha's mind the illusion that

it was mount Meru; or Vedānta-Sūtra: abhimānivyapadeśastu

viśeṣānugatibhyām (Śaṅkara: na khalu mṛdabravīdityevaṃjātīya-

kayā śrutyā bhūtendriyāṇāṃ cetanatvamāśaṅkanīyam . yato'bhi-

mānivyapadeśa eṣaḥ . mṛdādyabhimāninyo vāgādyabhimāninyaśca ce-

bhimānī māṃ nivarṇya &c. ‘somebody personating a doctor &c.’.

⁴ Proud, not bearing a slight, haughty; e. g. Rāmāy.: abhi-

māninamudbhrāntamātmasaṃbhāvitaṃ śaṭham .…ghnanti vairiṇaḥ; or

Gītagov.: harirabhimānī rajaniridānīmiyamapi yāti virā-

mam . kuru mama vacanaṃ &c. (comm. laghutvaṃ na sahate). ⁵ Wishing,

desiring; e. g. Vijnānāch. on a Sāṅkhya S.: …ahaṃkāra

indriyādihetuḥ . loke bhogābhimāninaiva rāgadvārā bhogopaka-

raṇanirmāṇadarśanāt (v. 1. bhogopakaraṇakaraṇadarśanāt). ⁶ Do-

2. m. (-nī) ¹ A name of Agni as the eldest born of

Brahman (masc.); according to the Viṣṇu Purāṇa. ² The

name of a son of the Manu Bhautya who presides over the

fourteenth Manwantara. (There is probably an allegorical

connexion between the name of these personages and the

Sāṅkhya doctrine which makes ahaṃkāra originate in the prin-

ciple of intellect.) E. man with abhi, kṛt aff. ṇini; 1. 4.
