    adhyavasāna

    See also adhyavasānam, adhyavasānaṃ.

    Goldstücker Sanskrit-English Dictionary

    ☞ p. 61, col. 1.
    adhyavasāna Tatpur. n. (-nam) 1 Determining, ascertaining. 2 Effort,

    energy. 3 (In rhetoric.) The simple enunciation of elliptic

    or figurative speech without qualifying it by epithets &c.,

    as it were, leaving it on its own effort; such sentences as

    śveto dhāvati ‘the white (horse) gallops’, kuntāḥ praviśanti

    ‘(men with) lances enter’ (see also under ajahatsvārthā), or

    kaliṅgaḥ sāhasikaḥ ‘the (inhabitant of) Kalinga is impetuous’

    (see also under jahatsvārthā) would be lakṣaṇās or elliptic

    expressions by adhyavasāna, while aśvaḥ śveto dhāvati the

    white horse gallops, ete kuntāḥ praviśanti these (men with)

    lances enter, kaliṅgaḥ puruṣo yudhyate the man (inhabitant of)

    Kalinga fights would be qualified or lakṣaṇās by āropa

    q. v. (See also under lakṣaṇā.) Or mukhaṃ dvitīyaścandraḥ, (her)

    face is another moon, would be an atiśayokti (q. v.) or

    hyperbole in virtue of adhyavasāna, the comparison as it

    were resting on its own merit. E. so with ava and adhi,

    kṛt aff. lyuṭ.
