abhojya

E. a neg. bhojya to be eaten, &c.

sumed by eating or drinking, unfit for food, prohibited

as food; e. g. Manu: abhojyamannaṃ nāttavyamātmanaḥ śuddhimiccha-

tā; or Mahābh. Śāntip.: cikitsakasya yaccānnamabhojyaṃ rakṣi-

ṇastathā . gaṇagrāmābhiśastānāṃ raṅgastrījīvināṃ tathā; (unfit

for drinking e. g.) Vṛhat-Śātātapa: pītaśeṣaṃ tu yatkiṃci-

dbhojane mukhaniḥsṛtam . abhojyaṃ taddvijasyāhurbhuktvā cāndrāyaṇaṃ

caret; sometimes contrasted with ‘what is unfit to be drunk’

and then used in the same sense as abhakṣya; e. g. Śāntip.:

pretānnaṃ sūtikānnaṃ ca yacca kiṃcidanirdaśam . abhojyaṃ cāpyapeyaṃ

ca dhenordugdhamanirdaśam; but in general (though not always)

the use of abhakṣya is restricted to solid food while abhojya

is said of eating and drinking; (comp. also the criticism of

Kātyāy. on Pāṇ. VII. 3. 69. where the latter renders bhojya

with bhakṣya while he ought to have rendered it, according to

Kātyāy., abhyavahārya q. v.; for bhojyaḥ sūpaḥ and bhojyā yavāgūḥ

are, as Patanjali instances, as good expressions as others

where bhojya is combined with articles of solid food; Patan-

jali, it is true, defends at the same time Pāṇini by ob-

serving that the derivatives of bhakṣ are sometimes used,

too, in connexion with liquids or food in general, e. g. in

abbhakṣa or vāyubhakṣa; but in general the distinction, pointed

out in the Vārttika of Kātyāy. is correct; Patanj.: kiṃ punaḥ

kāraṇaṃ na sidhyati . bhakṣirayaṃ kharaviśade vartate . tena drave na

prāpnoti . nāvaśyaṃ bhakṣiḥ kharaviśade vartate . kiṃ tarhi . anya-

trāpi vartate . tadyathā . abbhakṣo vāyubhakṣa iti). For prohi-

bited articles of food and the penances on eating such

food see the quotation s. v. abhakṣya. ² One whose food

must not be eaten; see the following; e. g. Manu: abho-

jyānāṃ tu bhuktvānnaṃ strīśūdrocchiṣṭameva ca . jagdhvā māṃsamabhakṣyaṃ

ca saptarātraṃ yavānpibet (Kull.: a° = abhojyānnānām; Me-

dhāt.: yeṣāmannaṃ na bhujyate te'bhojyāḥ puruṣāḥ). E. a neg.

and bhojya.
