abhāva a. [na. ba.] 1 Without love or affection. 2 Non-existent. — vaḥ 1 Not being or existing, non-existence; gato bhavo'bhāvaṃ Mk. 1 has disappeared. 2 Absence, want, failure; sarveṣāmapyabhāve tu brāhmaṇā rikthabhāginaḥ Ms. 9. 188; mostly in comp.; sarvābhāve harennṛpaḥ Ms. 9. 189 in the absence of all, failing all; toya˚, anna˚, āhāra˚ &c. 3 Annihilation, death, destruction, non-entity; nābhāva upalabdheḥ Ś. B.; Śi. 20. 64; Ki. 18. 10. 4 (In phil.) Privation, non-existence, nullity or negation, supposed to be the seventh category or padārtha in the system of Kaṇāda. Strictly speaking abhāva is not a separate predicament, like dravya, guṇa, but is only a negative arrangement of those predicaments; all nameable things being divided into positive (bhāva) and negative (abhāva), the first division including dravya, guṇa, karma, sāmānya, viśeṣa and samavāya and the second only one abhāva; cf. atra saptamasthābhāvakathanādeva ṣaṇṇāṃ bhāvatvaṃ prāptaṃ ([Page 0126-c]) tena bhāvatvena pṛthagupanyāso na kṛtaḥ Muktā. abhāva is defined as bhāvabhinno'bhāvaḥ ( pratiyogijñānādhīnaviṣayatvaṃ) that whose knowledge is dependent on the knowledge of its pratiyogī. It is of two principal kinds saṃsargābhāva and anyonyābhāva; the first comprising three varieties prāgabhāva, pradhvaṃsābhāva, and atyaṃtābhāva.
