the sun has set (scil. while he is asleep), asleep at sunset;
e. g. Gotama: sūryābhyudito brahmacārī tiṣṭhedaharabhuñjano'bhya-
stamitaśca rātriṃ japansāvitrīm (where the ellipsis ‘when
asleep’ follows from the word svapna in the preceeding pas-
sage: retaskandane bhaye roge svapne'gnīndhanabhaikṣacaraṇāni sapta-
rātraṃ kṛtvājyahomaḥ sābhisandhervā retasyābhyām).--This is the
reading acc. to both Calc. edd. of Kullūka to Manu 2. 220;
the Calc. ed. of Gotama's Sanh. (made by Bhavanīcharana-
vandya, as he says, bahuprayatnataḥ) has, however, sūryābhyudite
…(a)bhyastamite ca…, when it would be necessary to
take sū° as equivalent to sūryābhyudaya and abhya° as expressing
the sense of abhyastamaya, both words being then locatives
of a neuter °tam. But Kullūka's reading seems better as
being countenanced by analogous expressions in Manu 2. 221.
Comp. abhinirmukta and abhyudita. E. abhi and astamita (not
abhyastam and ita, for abhi refers to the person or act con-
cerned by the sunset; similarly in ved. passages which
contain the combination abhyastamagāt or abhyastamiyāt, the
rad. gā or i are combined first with astam and then with
abhi, not with abhyastam); see also the preceding.
