Apadiśam (अपदिशम्):—Avyayībh. Between two regions of the compass (as south-east &c.). [The Siddhāntakaum. appears to assume also a neuter apadiśa (-śam) ‘intermediate space of the compass’, since it explains apadiśam as representing the value of the instrum. or locative of apadiśa viz. ‘apadiśam . apadiśena . apadiśam . apadiśe’; but the comm. on the Amarak. I. 1. 2. 7. take the words ‘klīvāvyayam’ mentioned there, expressly as meaning ‘Avyayībh.’ and as imparting moreover to apa in apadiśam the meaning ‘in the middle of’. Svāmin explains apadiśam as representing the value of a case of diś (comp. Pāṇ. Ii. 1. 6), but Bhanūjid. refutes him in contending that the word could not imply then the notion of ‘in the middle of’: ‘diśoridamapadiśaṃ vibhaktyarthe vyayībhāva iti svāmī . tanna . saṃbandhamātrasya vibhaktyarthatvepi madhyasya tadarthatvābhāvāt’.—It seems unnecessary, however, to create a new meaning of apa on account of this compound, as apadiśam could well signify literally ‘away from one region and another’ i. e. between both. For a similar interpretation of apa comp. apasalavi.] E. apa and diś, samās. aff. ṭac, or apa and diśā.
