abhinyāsa

ture; esp. in Medicine.) A variety of fever, viz. a mixed

remittent or synochus fever, supposed to be produced by

the morbid state of the three temperamental elements, air,

bile and phlegm collectively; the patient is described by

Suśruta as ‘being neither too warm nor too cold, not quite

conscious, wandering in his mind, hoarse, with a sharp

taste, dry throat, void of perspiration and not having the

natural excretions, hiccupping, without appetite, dull, pant-

ing (or sighing), lying prostrate, impeded in speech, drowsy

and with contracted limbs’; the cure of this fever is believed

either very difficult or impossible. It is also called hataujas,

as the patient looses his strength by this fever, or from the

‘combination’ of the causes which produce it, sannipātajvara,

sarvātmakajvara, sarvadoṣasamutthajvara, sarvajajvara, sarvajvara. E.

as (cl. 4.) with ni and abhi, kṛt aff. ghañ; scil. jvara.
