apāra

E. a neg. pāra shore.

the same as pāra; comp. also avāra. E. See s. v. pāra.

2. (In the Sāṅkhya philosophy.) ¹ A technical term to

denote that kind of mental acquiescence or indifference which

arises from the reflection that sensual objects perish in con-

sequence of enjoyment and that there is a feeling of pain

or trouble when they perish; some call this kind of ac-

quiescence sunetra, and others pārapāra (the latter word writ-

ten thus in the Calc. ed. of the comm. of the Sāṅkhya-

pravachana and in the E. I. H. Ms. 2668; in Wilson's ed.

of the Sāṅkhya-Kārikā pārāpāra); it is among the nine

kinds of acquiescence or tuṣṭi (q. v.) one of the five called

vāhya or acquiescences relating to exterior objects. [Wilson

in his comment on the Kārikā (page 155) renders the literal

meaning of this word ‘shoreless’, taking it therefore as a

Bahuvr.; but it seems to me that the compound terms of

this category, enumerated s. v. anuttamāmbhas, are all Tat-

pur., the simile inhering to these terms being taken from

the notion of ‘water’ or ‘opposite shore’, and the dif-

ferent mode in which the former is expressed (ambhas, sa-

lila, ogha, vṛṣṭi) as well as the qualification conveyed by

the former part of the compound terms (supāra, uttamāmbhas

&c.) being intended to express the higher or lower degree

of the various acquiescences, none of which is conducive

to final emancipation; the literal meaning of apāra would

therefore be, in my opinion, ‘a bad or undesirable opposite

shore’. In the list of Gaurapāda which differs from that of

the other comm., the correctness of the term sunetra seems

to me, for the reasons given, doubtful, unless netra is to be

connected there with the sense of netrī ‘river’.] ² The re-

verse of the technical Sāṅkhya term pāra, i. e. ^a. non-ac-

quiescence or not being indifferent through not reflecting

that pain or trouble arises from the preservation of sensual

objects when they have been acquired; or ^b. non-acquiescence

through not reflecting that acquiring sensual objects causes

trouble or pain; (the term pāra being used by Gaurapāda

in the former, by Vāchaspati, Vijnānāchārya &c. in the

latter sense); it is amongst the seventeen buddhibadha or ob-

structions of intellect one of the nine which are the converse

of the tuṣṭi or acquiescences. E. a 1. deter., 2. neg. and pāra.

II. Bahuvr. m. f. n. (-raḥ-rā-ram) Shoreless, unbounded,

boundless, illimitable. E. a priv. and pāra.

n. (-raṃ) The opposite bank of a river.

mfn. (-raḥ-rā-raṃ) Unbounded,
boundless, interminable.

E. a neg. pāra shore.
