apakarṣa Tatpur. m. (-rṣaḥ) ¹ Drawing down, pulling away (the

converse of utkarṣa, drawing up); e. g. (in a comm. on four

lines of a stanza:) atra pādatraye krameṇa bandhasya gāḍhatā . catu-

rthapāde tvapakarṣaḥ; also figuratively, taking off, diminishing,

as in the following instance which combines both appli-

cations: yathā daṇḍāpakarṣe tatsaṃbandhasyāpūpasyāpyapakarṣaḥ . tathā pu-

trasaṃkrāntadhanasya patnīgatatayāpakarṣe tatsaṃbandhasya kanyādhanāvaśiṣṭa-

tvaviśeṣaṇasyāpakarṣaḥ .. ² Depreciation, deterioration, inferiority,

degraded condition; (in this sense also opposed to prakarṣa)

e. g. the words of Manu kuvivāhaiḥ…kulānyakulatāṃ yānti

are explained by Kullūka: āsurādivivāhaiḥ…prakhyāta-

kulānyapakarṣaṃ gacchanti; or on the affixes of the comparative

tarap and īyasun a Vārttika observes: tarabīyasunorekadra-

vyasyotkarṣāpakarṣayorupasaṃkhyānam. ³ (In the Nyāya philosophy.)

Denying or disputing away qualities which a thing possesses

(vidyamānadharmāpacayo'pakarṣaḥ); comp. apakarṣasama. ⁴ Super-

seding (as a rule); e. g. in the Vārtt. to Pāṇ. III. 4. 102. na

vā vākyāpakarṣāt where the last word is explained by

Patanjali: vākyāpakarṣādyāsuṭ sīyuṭaṃ bādhiṣyate, and by

Kaiyyaṭa: liṅaḥ sīyuḍityasya vākyasya yāsuḍvidhivākyenā-

pakarṣo bādha ityarthaḥ .. ⁵ Anticipating something which oc-

curs later (as a religious act or a word of a sentence);

in this sense it is met with frequently in writings on the

Mīmānsā; e. g. darśapūrṇamāsayoḥ puroḍāśasya kapāleṣu sthāpi-

tasyācchādanamāmnātam . bhasmanābhivāsayatīti . tata ūrdhvaṃ ve-

dirāmnātā . tenaiva krameṇa paurṇamāsīyāge pratipadyanuṣṭhānaṃ kṛ-

tam . darśayāge tu vederapakarṣa āmnātaḥ . pūrvedyuramāvāsyāyāṃ

vediṃ karotīti . tatra vedeḥ pūrvabhāvino'bhivāsanāntasyāṅga-

samūhasyāpakarṣaḥ kartavyaḥ &c. |. For the ind. apakarṣam see under
