apasmāra Tatpur. m. (-raḥ) (In Medicine.) Epilepsy, falling

sickness; according to Suśruta, of four kinds, the three

first produced by the derangement of air, bile and phlegm,

the fourth by the combination of the three. (A definition

of Ātreya is: pittaṃ raktaṃ maruccheṣmā udānaḥ kupito bhṛśam .

prāṇaḥ śirasi saṃkupya kurute naṣṭaceṣṭatām.) In Rhetoric it is

mentioned as a vyabhicāribhāva or an accessory condition of

the Erotic (śṛṅgāra), Pathetic (karuṇa), the Fearful (bhayānaka)

and the Disgustful (bībhatma), and is defined--but happily

this definition has not guided the Hindu poets in the re-

presentation of their characters--as ‘dementation caused

by the planets or similar evil influences and causing falls,

trembling, perspiration, foaming at the mouth, slavering

&c.’. E. smṛ with apa, kṛt aff. ghañ.
