(-rthā) A figure of speech, the cha-racteristic of the upādānalakṣaṇā q. v. It consists in using a word in an elliptic meaning without depriving it of its primary sense; in such phrases as śveto dhāvati or kuntāḥ praviśanti, are to be supplied aśva &c. in the former, puruṣa &c. in the latter, so as to impart the sense of ‘a white horse gallops’, ‘the men with lances enter’, while śveta and kunta retain their original sense. See, on the contrary, jahatsvārthā.—E. a neg. and jahatsvārthā, scil. lakṣaṇā.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
