    abhimukha I. Bahuvr. or Tatpur. 1. m. f. n. (-khaḥ-khā or -khī;

    see N. B.; -kham) 1 With the face directed towards, facing,

    fronting; e. g. Nalop.: śārdūlo'bhimukho'bhyeti; or in the

    locat. used adverbially, Rāmāy.: kṛtāñjaliruvācedaṃ śvaśrūma-

    bhimukhe sthitām. 2 Near, approaching; e. g. Raghuv.: yu-

    yoja pākābhimukhairbhṛtyānvijñāpanāphalaiḥ; comp. also abhimu-

    khīkaraṇa, abhimukhībhūta. 3 Disposed towards, engaged in,

    ready for; e. g. Raghuv.: prātaḥ prayāṇābhimukhāya…tasmai

    vṛṣṭiṃ śaśaṃsuḥ; or svasāramādāya vidarbharājaḥ purapraveśābhimu-

    kho babhūva. 4 Kindly disposed, favourable, propitious; e. g.

    Rāmāy.: na nāstikenābhimukho budhaḥ syāt; or Lalitav.: ye

    (scil. bodhisattvāḥ) tuṣitavarabhavanasthāḥ sarve caramabhavābhimu-

    khāḥ &c. 5 With the face upwards; e. g. Suśruta: ābhugnī

    'bhimukhaḥ śete garbhī garbhāśaye striyāḥ . sa yoniṃ śirasā yāti

    svabhāvātprasavaṃ prati; comp. also the comm. of the Nalodaya

    on the word anavāk, viz.: avāk . adhomukhaḥ . na avāk .

    anavāk . abhimukhaḥ. [N. B. According to a Kārikā on

    Pāṇ. IV. 1. 54. the fem. of this word must end in ī (ṅīṣ),

    if it is applied to a living being, otherwise in ā; thus e. g.

    Rāmāy.: rājānamevābhimukhī kaikeyī vākyamabravīt; or prayātu

    caturaṅgiṇī . ayodhyābhimukhī senā; or Śaṅk. on Chh. Upan.

    4. 6. 1.: tāḥ śanaiścarantya ācāryakulābhimukhyaḥ prasthitāḥ; but Kā-

    śikā: abhimukhā śālā; comp. e. g. candramukhī and similar

    compounds (said of a woman) but ślakṣṇamukhā śālā.]

    2. f. (-khī) One of ten earths stepped upon by Buddha,

    in Buddhistic mythology; (in the classical Sanskṛt this fem.

    in ī instead of in ā would be doubly wrong; comp. the

    foregoing remark and Pāṇ. IV. 1. 58.).

    II. Avyayībh. (-kham) 1 With the face towards, in the

    direction towards; e. g. Manu: āsyatāmiti coktaḥ sannā-

    sītābhimukhaṃ guroḥ; or Kirātārj.: vyaktoditasmitamayūkhavibhā-

    sitoṣṭhastiṣṭhanmunerabhimukhaṃ sa vikīrṇadhāmnaḥ; or Ṛtusaṃh.: cū-

    tavṛkṣān . abhimukhamabhivīkṣya; or in the dramas: nepathyābhi-

    mukhamavalokya. 2 Near; e. g. Hitop.: svagṛhābhimukhaṃ prayātaḥ;

    or Śiśupālab.: abhimukhapatitairguṇaprakarṣādavarjitam &c.; or Me-

    ghad.: arcistuṅgānabhimukhagatānprāṣya ratnapradīpān. [abhimukha

    is udātta on the last syllable; this accent follows for the

    Avyayībh. from Pāṇ. VI. 1. 223., for the Tatpur. from VI.

    2. 185., and for the Bahuvr. from the same Sūtra, since the

    rule VI. 2. 177. (exception to VI. 2. 168.) concerns only such

    Bahuvr. ending in mukha, as express a permanent condition

    of the face (comp. pramukha), not a transitory one like ‘facing’,

    and applies moreover only to the literal meaning of mukha,

    not to the figur. sense it has e. g. in abhimukhā as epithet

    of śālā; (but VI. 2. 177. applies probably also to abhimukha I.

    1. 5.); Kāśikā: bahuvrīhirayam . prādisamāso vā . avyayī-

    bhāve tu samāsāntodāttatvenaiva siddham . upasargātsvāṅgamiti

    siddhe vacanamabahuvrīhyartham . adhruvārtham . asvāṅgārthaṃ ca; comp.

    the quotation from Patanj. s. v. apamukha.] E. abhi and mukha.
