Atiśāyana (अतिशायन).—Excellence, surpassing; the same as अतिशय (atiśaya) in V. Pr. V. 2 cf. अतिशायने तमबिष्ठनौ (atiśāyane tamabiṣṭhanau) P. V. 3.55, also cf. भूमनिन्दाप्रशंसासु नित्ययोगेऽतिशायने । संसर्गेऽ स्तिविवक्षायां भवन्ति मतुबादयः (bhūmanindāpraśaṃsāsu nityayoge'tiśāyane | saṃsarge' stivivakṣāyāṃ bhavanti matubādayaḥ) M. Bh. on V.2.94, where अतिशायन (atiśāyana) means अतिशाय (atiśāya). Patañjali, commenting on P. V.3.55 clearly remarks that for अतिशय (atiśaya), or for अतिशयन (atiśayana), the old grammarians, out of fancy only, used the term अतिशायन (atiśāyana) as it was a current term in popular usage; cf. देश्याः सूत्रनिबन्धाः क्रियन्ते यावद् ब्रूयात् प्रकर्षे अतिशय इति तावदतिशायन इति (deśyāḥ sūtranibandhāḥ kriyante yāvad brūyāt prakarṣe atiśaya iti tāvadatiśāyana iti) M. Bh. on , P. V.3.55.
