Apāsana (अपासन):—[tatpurusha compound] n.

(-nam) I. Throwing away, quitting, fore-going. E. as (cl. 4.) with apa, kṛt aff. lyuṭ. Ii. Killing (comm. on the Amarak. and Hemach. = māraṇa; a special meaning ‘carnage’ given to this word is without authority). E. Accord. to the commentators on the Amarak. like the former; but it seems preferable to derive the latter meaning from a denom. apāsi (apa-asu, denom. aff. ṇic), kṛt aff. lyuṭ; lit. ‘making to lose the life’; or from as ‘to be’ in the caus. with apa, kṛt aff. lyuṭ lit. ‘to produce cessation of existence’.
