context information

Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.

Kavyashastra (science of poetry)

Source: Shodhganga: The Kavyavilasa of Ciranjiva Bhattacarya (kavyashastra)

Adhika (अधिक) refers to one of the 93 alaṃkāras (“figures of speech”) mentioned by Cirañjīva Bhaṭṭācārya (fl. 17th century) in his Kāvyavilāsa and is listed as one of the 89 arthālaṃkāras (figure of speech determined by the sense, as opposed to sound).—Among the ancient Ālaṃkārikas only Rudraṭa has admitted this figure adhika. Mammaṭa in his Kāvyaprakāśa, has dealt with this figure adhika. Ruyyaka (A.S. P. 134) makes a precise and lucide definition.

According to Cirañjīva when of the two the container and the thing contained the latter one is described as vaster than the former the figure adhika emerges—“adhikaṃ tvadhikādhārādādheyādhikyavarṇane”.—In this world usually the thing contained becomes smaller and the container becomes vaster. The container may incorporate within itself so many big things, but in the case of this figure the thing contained becomes vaster than the container.

Example of the adhika-alaṃkāra:—

asti brahmāṇḍabhānḍaṃ hi yasmillokāścaturdaśa |
tasminnapi na te bhāti kīrtirjagati kīrtita ||

“Oh! Praised in the world! There is the container in the form of universe in which the fourteen worlds are contained, even in this container your fame is not contained”.

Notes: This verse is taken from Kalpalata, composed by the author himself which is now lost. In this verse it is said that this universe is such a vast thing that fourteen worlds are contained in it. But even in this universe the fame of the king is not contained. It spreads surpassing the whole universe. Here the universe is the container and the fame of the king is contained. Here the exceeding of the fame is described, so it is an example of adhika.

Kavyashastra (काव्यशास्त्र, kāvyaśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian tradition of poetry (kavya). Canonical literature (shastra) of the includes encyclopedic manuals dealing with prosody, rhetoric and various other guidelines serving to teach the poet how to compose literature.

Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)

Source: Pure Bhakti: Arcana-dipika - 3rd Edition

Adhika (अधिक) refers to one of the months (māsa) in the Vedic calendar.—There are twelve months in a Vedic lunar calendar, and approximately every three years, there is a thirteenth month. Each month has a predominating deity and approximately corresponds with the solar christian months. [...] In accordance with the month of the year, one would utter the Vedic month, for example, adhika-māsi.

The presiding deity of Adhika is Puruṣottama .

context information

Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord.

Adhika (अधिक) refers to an “excessive” (internal fire) (of elephants), according to the 15th century Mātaṅgalīlā composed by Nīlakaṇṭha in 263 Sanskrit verses, dealing with elephantology in ancient India, focusing on the science of management and treatment of elephants.—[Cf. chapter 1, “on the origin of elephants”]: “[...] The creation of elephants was holy, and for the profit of sacrifice to the Gods, and especially for the welfare of kings. Therefore it is clear that elephants must be zealously tended. [...] 35. The inversion of the tongue, and internal fire to an excessive degree (adhika), are from Agni [antaradhikaṃ dāho'nalād]; from Brahmā, lack of a scrotum, and delight in dust, water, and mud; from Dīrghatapas, exile from their (original) station, the carrying of men, and loss of divinity ; from Bhṛgu, attraction to their own dung and urine ; from Varuṇa, internal sweat, by his curse”.

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: archive.org: Een Kritische Studie Van Svayambhūdeva’s Paümacariu

Adhika (अधिक) participated in the war between Rāma and Rāvaṇa, on the side of the latter, as mentioned in Svayambhūdeva’s Paumacariu (Padmacarita, Paumacariya or Rāmāyaṇapurāṇa) chapter 57ff. Svayambhū or Svayambhūdeva (8th or 9th century) was a Jain householder who probably lived in Karnataka. His work recounts the popular Rāma story as known from the older work Rāmāyaṇa (written by Vālmīki). Various chapters [mentioning Adhika] are dedicated to the humongous battle whose armies (known as akṣauhiṇīs) consisted of millions of soldiers, horses and elephants, etc.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being.
