    adakṣiṇa m. f. n. (-ṇaḥ-ṇā-ṇam) I. Tatpur. 1 Not right, left.

    2 Not clever, unskilful. E. a neg. and dakṣiṇa.

    II. Bahuvr. Being or being performed without the presents

    usually given to Brahmans (see dakṣiṇā), as a sacrifice &c.

    The celebration of a sacrifice without the Dakṣiṇā oc-

    curs for instance under the following circumstances: at

    the Prātaḥsavana of the Jyotiṣṭoma, when about to sing

    the Vahiṣpavamāna stotra, the priests step out from the

    house where the sacred fire is kept, one going after the

    other and holding the one who precedes by the hem of his

    garment: if it so happens, at this procession, that the

    Udgātṛ inadvertently drops the hem, the sacrifice goes on

    without the Dakṣiṇā; once accomplished, however, it is

    to be repeated and then the Udgātṛ has to pay the Dakṣiṇā

    which should have been given at the first performance; if

    the Pratihartṛ meets with a similar accident, he has to pay

    his whole property at the renewal of the ceremony, which

    then is called sarvasvadakṣiṇa. E. a priv. and dakṣiṇā.
