adhyāhāraḥ A mode of interpreting a sentence. According to this mode, an incomplete sentence is made to yield complete sense by supplying some extra word or words therein. adhyāhāra should be clearly distinguished from anuṣaṅga which also is a mode of interpreting an incomplete sentence; paripūrṇamevedaṃ vākyaṃ nādhyāhāramarhati vipralambhakartṛkam ŚB. on MS.4.3.10 (see anuṣaṅga). cf. also aparipūrṇaṃ yad vākyaṃ tadadhyāhāreṇa vā pūryeta vyavahitakalpanayā vā | tatrādhyāhārād vyavahitakalpanā jyāyasī | adhyāhāre hi aśrutaḥ kalpyeta | īta- ratra śrutena sambandhaḥ | ŚB. on MS.7.4.10.
