or solicits; e. g. Mitākṣ. (on Āpastamba): tatrāpravṛttasya
pravartakaḥ prayojakaḥ . sa ca triprakāraḥ . ājñāpayitābhyarthayamāna

In a legal sense the abhya° is therefore the instigator of a
crime, who has not the power of doing the criminal act
himself but requests another who has the power, to do it
for him; while the ājñāpayitṛ is the person who orders his
subordinate to accomplish the criminal act, and the upadeṣṭṛ
the person who instructs others how to do it; all three be-
longing to the category prayojaka. E. arth with abhi, kṛt
aff. śānac and āgama muk.
