abhyāgata

E. abhi, and āgata come.

Rāmāy.: atha te mantrinaḥ sūtaṃ sumantraṃ sapurohitāḥ . ūcura-

bhyāgatānasmāmrājñe tvāvedayeti vai; frequently with the im-

plied sense, ‘as a visitor’ and then also used absolutely as

a masc. ‘visitor’; e. g. Hitop.: vālo vā yadi vā vṛddho yuvā

vā gṛhamāgataḥ . tasya pūjā vidhātavyā sarvatrābhyāgato guruḥ; or

gururagnirdvijātīnāṃ varṇānāṃ brāhmaṇo guruḥ . patireko guruḥ

strīṇāṃ sarvasyābhyāgato guruḥ; or Mahābh. Udyogap.: ye cā-

pyanye saṃśritā dhārtarāṣṭrānnānādigbhyo'bhyāgatāḥ sūtaputra . dṛṣṭvā

tāṃścaivārhataścāpi sarvānsaṃpṛcchethāḥ kuśalaṃ cāvyayaṃ ca . evaṃ sarvā-

nāgatābhyāgatāṃśca rājño dūtānsarvadigbhyo'bhyupetān . pṛṣṭvā

sarvānkuśalaṃ tāṃśca sūta paścādahaṃ kuśalī teṣu vācyaḥ (comp. s. v.

abhivādana), in which passage āgatābhyāgata might seem

to be merely a poetical redundance to denote the great

number of the arrived envoys, but the comm. of Chaturbhu-

jam. is probably correct in distinguishing between the āgata

or the guest (who makes a stay) and the abhyāgata or the

visitor (who soon leaves): āgatān . tatrevāgatya sthitān .

abhyāgatān āgatāgatānapi gamiṣyataḥ; for a similar dis-

tinction is made between atithi and abhyāgata e. g. in this

verse of the Bhāg.-Pur.: yastviha vā atithīnabhyāgatānvā

gṛhapatirasakṛdupagatamanyurdidhakṣuriva pāpena cakṣuṣā nirīkṣate

tasya &c.; Hemach., however, treats atithi and abhyāgata

as convertible terms, the distinction being probably dropped

in common language. ² (In Law.) Come down by inheri-

tance (as property); e. g. Yājnav.: kramādabhyāgataṃ dravyaṃ hṛta-

mabhyuddharettu yaḥ . dāyādebhyo na taddadyādvidyayā labdhameva ca; or

Nārada: kramādabhyāgataṃ prāptaṃ putrairyannarṇamuddhṛtam . dadyuḥ paitāmahaṃ

pautrāstaccaturthānnivartate. E. gam with ā and abhi, kṛt
