That, (referring to a person or thing not present or near the speaker) (viprakṛṣṭa or parokṣa); इदमस्तु सन्निकृष्टं समीप- तरवर्ति चैतदो रूपम् । अदसस्तु विप्रकृष्टं तदिति परोक्षे विजानीयात् ॥ अमुष्य विद्या रसनाग्रनर्तकी (idamastu sannikṛṣṭaṃ samīpa- taravarti caitado rūpam | adasastu viprakṛṣṭaṃ taditi parokṣe vijānīyāt || amuṣya vidyā rasanāgranartakī) N.1.5; असौ नामाऽहमस्मीति स्वनाम परिकीर्तयेत् (asau nāmā'hamasmīti svanāma parikīrtayet) Manusmṛti 2.122. I am that person, so and so (giving the name); असावहमिति ब्रूयात् (asāvahamiti brūyāt) 13,216; Y. 1.26. अदस् (adas) is, however, often used with reference to प्रत्यक्ष (pratyakṣa) or सन्निकृष्ट (sannikṛṣṭa) objects &c. in the sense of 'this here', 'yonder'. असौ सरण्यः सरणोन्मुखानाम् (asau saraṇyaḥ saraṇonmukhānām) R.6.21. (asāviti purovartino nirdeśaḥ Malli.); अमी रथ्याः (amī rathyāḥ) Ś.1.8.; अमी वह्नयः (amī vahnayaḥ) 4.18;7.11. It is often used in the sense of तत् (tat) as a correlative of यत् (yat); हिंसारतश्च यो नित्यं नेहासौ सुखमेधते (hiṃsārataśca yo nityaṃ nehāsau sukhamedhate) Ms. 4.17. He, who &c. But when it immediately follows the relative pronoun (yo'sau, ye amī &c.) it conveys the sense of प्रसिद्ध (prasiddha) 'well-known', 'celebrated', 'renowned'; योऽसावतीन्द्रियग्राह्यः सूक्ष्मोऽव्यक्तः सनातनः (yo'sāvatīndriyagrāhyaḥ sūkṣmo'vyaktaḥ sanātanaḥ) Manusmṛti 1.7; योऽसौ कुमार- सेवको नाम (yo'sau kumāra- sevako nāma) Mu.3; योऽसौ चोरः (yo'sau coraḥ) Daśakumāracarita 68; sometimes अदस् (adas) used by itself conveys this sense; विधुरपि विधियोगाद् ग्रस्यते राहुणाऽसौ (vidhurapi vidhiyogād grasyate rāhuṇā'sau) that (so well-known to us all) moon too. See the word तद् (tad) also and the quotations from K. P. -ind. There, at that time, then, thus, ever; correlative to some pronominal forms; यदादः, यत्रादः (yadādaḥ, yatrādaḥ) whenever, whereever &c. By अदोऽनुपदेशे (ado'nupadeśe) P.1.4.7. अदस् (adas) has the force of a (gati) preposition when no direction to another is implied; अदःकृत्य अदःकृतम् (adaḥkṛtya adaḥkṛtam); । परं प्रत्युपदेशे तु अदःकृत्वा अदःकुरु (| paraṃ pratyupadeśe tu adaḥkṛtvā adaḥkuru) | Sk.

1) Adas (अदस्):—[nominative case] mf. asau ([vocative case] asau, [Maitrāyaṇī-saṃhitā]) (n. adas), (opposed to idam q.v.), that, a certain

2) then, [Atharva-veda xii, 1, 55].

3) (adas) ind. thus, so, there.

Adas (अदस्):—I. m. f. n. (asau-asau-adas). The pronoun (see sarvanāman) which generally points to what is absent, remote or uncertain (differently from idam q. v.) and which corresponds with

1) That.

2) A certain (so and so). In correlative phrases it stands therefore usually in the prior sentence, imparting greater emphasis. Its declension is defective in as far as most of its cases are supplied by the themes asu or asa, amu (amū) and ami (amī). The theme which appears in composition is adas (except in the forms adadryañc &c. q. v. See also addhā). In some derivations of rare occurrence we meet also with the themes asu, asa and amu; see asuka, asaka, amuka. Ii. ind. (esp. in composition with radicals (see gati), when employed reflectively). So, in such a manner, f. i. adaḥkṛtya having done so &c.—In conjunction with a relative pronoun or particle it has the effect of giving emphasis or of generalising, e. g. yadadas whatever, yatrādas wherever, yathādas howsoever. E. unknown; but it is probably derived from the theme ad which occurs in adadryañc and addhā.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
