Ātyayika (आत्ययिक) refers to an “urgent matter”, and is mentioned in verse 2.32 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] equipped with parasol and foot-gear, one shall move about, looking (ahead) as far as a yoke; but at night (only) for an urgent matter [viz., ātyayika] (and) with stick, head-wear, (and) companion”.

Note: Ātyayika (“having a rapid course, urgent”) has been rendered somewhat loosely by chen(-po) (“great, important”). Besides, the singular has been exchanged for the plural.

context information

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.
