appointment; e. g. Gītagov.: ratasukhasāre gatamabhisāre mada-

namanoharaveśam . na kuru nitambini gamanavilambamanusara taṃ

hṛdayeśam; or in the following verse (which exemplifies an

alliteration called mahācakra or kulālacakra q. v.): rādhā śrutā-

livacanā virasābhisārā rāsābhisārasamaye vivṛtāpakārā .

rākā patāvṛtaparāpyapayātamārā rāmātayā paramadurgalitāśru-

dhārā; or Vivādachint.: striyaṃ puruṣaṃ vābhisāraṃ prati saṃcāra-

yati yaśca tayorabhisārasthānaṃ dadāti tau pāradārikavaddaṇḍyau.

² An army. ³ An attack; e. g. Rāmāy.: pravṛttistairihākhyā-

tā śvo'bhisāraḥ purasya naḥ (Dharaṇik.: = yuddha; battle, war).

⁴ A follower. ⁵ A purificatory ceremony; (viz. lustration

of arms). [In the explanation of the Dharaṇik.: abhisāro

bale yuddhe sahāye sādhane'pi ca, the meaning bala and sādhana

are clearly founded on the compound words sarvābhisāra

and lohābhisāra, the former meaning the making a whole

army ready for attack or battle, and the latter a ceremony

observed by princes before opening a campaign; the mean-

ing bala in the Dharaṇik. should therefore not be rendered

‘strength’, not the meaning sādhana ‘instrument’.] ⁶ A

fish; (according to the Nighaṇtaprakāśa).
