Odhṛta (ओधृत).—(°-) (looks as if = avadhṛta; but ava-dhṛ is not so used, and it is no doubt really a false Sanskritization of a MIndic equivalent of Sanskrit uddhṛta), removed, laid down (of a burden): Mahāvastu ii.95.4 (rājā Subāhuḥ) rājakṛtyato odhṛtabhāro, having laid down the burden of (lit. from) royal duties. Perh. compare AMg. ohariya, ppp., taken down, placed down ([Ardha-Māgadhī Dictionary]), supposedly for avadhṛta.
