    apuṣṭa Tatpur. m. f. n. (-ṣṭaḥ-ṣṭā-ṣṭam) 1 Not nourished, not fat,

    lean. 2 (In Rhetoric.) Irrelevant, unassisting (as a word);

    irrelevancy is one of the 22 arthadoṣa q. v.; in the sentence

    e. g. ‘vilokya vitate vyomni vidhuṃ muñca ruṣaṃ priye’, the word

    vitate is apuṣṭa, since the expansion of the sky is there ir-

    relevant for causing the cessation of anger. 3 Not loud, not

    violent; as crying. 4 (In Music.) Tenour (?); one of the

    five modifications of breath in its passage from the navel

    upwards, according to the native theory, which is thus ex-

    pressed in the Saṅgītadarpaṇa: brahmagranthisthitaṃ prāṇaṃ sa prera-

    apuṣṭa a.

    1 Not nourished or fed, lean, not fat.

    2 Not loud or violent, soft, low (as sound).

    3 (In Rhet.) Not feeding or assisting (the meaning), irrelevant ( mukhyānupakārin), regarded as one of the arthadoshas (faults of the sense or meaning); as in the instance given (pb) under S. D. 576 vilokya vitate vyomni vidhuṃ muṃca ruṣaṃpriye, the adjective vitata ‘expanded,’ as applied, to the sky, does not in any way help the cessation of anger and is, therefore, irrelevant.
