abhinirmukta

² One asleep at sunset. [The last meaning, given by the

Amarak. and Hemach., owes its origin probably to Manu

2. 221. or a similar passage, where the word is to be joined

with the word sūryeṇa, both words meaning literally ‘one

left by the sun’, scil. while asleep (this ellipsis resulting

from the preceding verse 2. 220.); the same remark applies

to the meaning ‘one asleep at sunrise’, given by the Koshas

to abhyudita, for in Manu 2. 221. the latter word is also to

be coupled with sūryeṇa, when both these words mean liter-

ally: ‘one towards whom the sun has risen’ (scil. while

asleep), the meaning towards of abhi in abhyudita resulting

from the beginning of verse 220., where abhi is karmaprav.

or the separable preposition, not the verbal prefix; Manu

2. 220. 221.: taṃ cedabhyudiyātsūryaḥ śayānaṃ kāmacārataḥ (v. l. kā-

makārataḥ) . nimlocedvāpyavijñānājjapannupavaseddinam .. sūryeṇa

hyabhinirmuktaḥ śayāno'bhyuditaśca yaḥ . prāyaścittamakurvāṇo yu-

ktaḥ syānmahatainasā; and comp. Gotama, as quoted by Kullūka:

sūryābhyudito brahmacārī tiṣṭhedaharabhuñjāno'bhyastamitaśca rātriṃ

japansāvitrīm. The comm. on the Amarak., however, ap-

pear to have lost sight of this origin of the meanings ‘asleep

at sunset’ and ‘at sunrise’ of the named words, for Rā-

yamuk. e. g. gives the etymological meaning of abhi-

nirmukta ‘completely free from feeling, evening work or de-

sign, i. e. completely insensible or disengaged’: abhi sarva-

to bhāvena sāyantanena karmaṇā niścayena muktaḥ; and he explains

abhyudita as a deriv. of abhyudita with taddh. aff. ac, re-

ferring it to the Gaṇa to Pāṇ. V. 2. 127., when its literal

meaning would be ‘having a sunrise’: abhyuditamabhyudayaḥ sū-

ryasya tadyogādarśaādyac . bhuktā brāhmaṇā itivat (comp. Siddh.

Kaum. fol. 186a, 1. 11).] E. muc with nir and abhi, kṛt

aff. kta.
