abrahmaṇya

abrahmaṇya n. (-ṇyaṃ) Sacred, not to be killed, (in theatrical language.)

E. a not, brahmaṇya proper for a Brahman, i. e. death; also abrāhmaṇya.

a-brahmaṇya (ṇyaṃ) n. Sacredness.

abrahmaṇya Tatpur. 1. m. f. n. (-ṇyaḥ-ṇyā-ṇyam) ¹ Not proper or

fit for a Brāhmaṇa (Halāyudha: abrahmaṇyamavarṇyaṃ syādbrahmaṇyaṃ

brahmaṇo hitam). ² Not well disposed to, hostile to, the

Brāhmaṇas; e. g. in the Bhāgav. Pur.: śocatyaśrukalā sā-

dhvī durbhagevojjhitādhunā . abrahmaṇyā nṛpavyājā śūdrā bhokṣyanti

māmiti.

2. n. (-ṇyam) ¹ A disgraceful act, a horrible act; e. g.

in the Panchatantra: nāndukastārasvareṇa provāca . bho abra-

hmaṇyamabrahmaṇyaṃ vartate . mama śiśuranena caureṇāpahṛtaḥ. ² An

exclamation of distress, uttered by a Brāhmaṇa, answer-

ing our: oh, alas! (Rāyamuk., Bhanūd. &c. on the Ama-

rak.: vadhaṃ nārhatītyuktau; Svāmin on the Amarak., Valla-

bhag. on Hemach.: vadhānarhasya brāhmaṇasya pūtkaraṇe; according

to this interpretation the word avadhya, in the explanatory

compound of the Amarak. and of Hemach. ‘avadhyoktau’,

would simply mean ‘Brāhmaṇa’, the etymological sense

of this word having disappeared in the conventional mean-

ing; Nīlak.: vadhaṃ nārhatītyuktau brahmaṇi sādhu . tatra sādhuriti

(Pāṇ. IV. 4. 98.) yat . brahmaṇyam . tato nañsamāsaḥ) e. g. in

the Uttararāmach.: atrāntare brāhmaṇena mṛtaṃ putramāropya rāṃ-

jadvāri sorastāḍanamabrahmaṇyamudghoṣitam; or ³ A cry of distress

uttered by a person (in general) who craves for his life,

answering our ‘mercy!’; (according to this interpretation

of avadhyoktau, avadhya would not have the conventional, but

the literal or etymological sense: Rāyamuk., Mathureśa,

Rāmāśraya &c. on the Amarak.: avadhayācñcārthamityeke; Valla-

bhag. on Hemach.: avadhyayācñārthaṃ pūtkaraṇa ityeke, when a-

brahmaṇya has lost its etymological sense, ‘an act which is

not proper for a Brāhmaṇa’ and assumed the meaning 1.);

but the word occurs also in the still more general sense

of a plaintive cry: ‘woe!’; e. g. in the Panchatantra: sarve

te pakṣiṇo viṣaṇṇavadanā vāṣpapūritadṛśaḥ karuṇasvareṇa vainateya-

māsādya phūtkartumārabdhāḥ . aho abrahmaṇyamabrahmaṇyam. (Amarak.

and Hemach. restrict the use of the word in the two last

meanings to the dramas, but it occurs also elsewhere in

the dialogue, as results e. g. from the given instance.--

abrahmaṇya is, contrary to the general rule on Tatpur. com-

pounds with a neg., udātta on the last syllable.) Also

abrāhmaṇya. E. a neg. and brahmaṇya.

abrahmaṇya a-brahmaṇya, am, n. act not

proper for a Brāhman; an unbrahmanical or sacri-

legious act; in theatrical language an exclamation,

meaning ‘help!’ ‘to the rescue!’ ‘a disgraceful deed

is perpetrated!’
