annavikāra

E. anna, and vikāra change of form.

in general of any preparation of an article of food, e. g. of

saktu, puroḍāśa, surā, yavasurā, piṣṭasurā (comp. s. v. anna-

mala); according to an observation of Vardhamāna, however,

only of an artificial preparation, of made dishes, e. g. of

sweetmeats, śaṣkulīmodaka &c. (which would include, too,

the given instances saktu &c. occurring in the Mahābhāṣya,

Kāśikā, Bhaṭṭikāvya &c.), not of preparations which re-

present, as it were, the original substance only in a different

shape, as of pṛthuka, rice or grain flattened, apūpa, cake of

flour &c. (This observation is in accordance, also, with

the author of the gaṇa apūpādi to Pāṇ. V. 1. 4. where the

words apūpa and pṛthuka occur besides annavikāra). ² The

seminal secretion. ³ Transformation of the metaphysical

or mystical food; see anna 2. 2. and compare annavikāratva.
