Apte 1890 substantive masculine · Word type unspecified

Original text · English · substantive masculine

upasargaḥ 1 Sickness, disease, change occasioned by a disease; also a disease superinduced on another; kṣīṇaṃ hanyuścopasargāḥ prabhūtāḥ Suśr. 2 Misfortune, trouble, calamity, injury, harm; praśamitāśeṣopasargāḥ prajāḥ Ratn. 1. 10; sopasargaṃ vo nakṣatraṃ M. 4. 3 Portent, natural phenomenon foreboding evil. 4 An eclipse. 5 An indication or symptom of death. 6 Addition. 7 Possession by an evil spirit. 8 A preposition ([Page 0333-b]) prefixed to roots; nipātāścādayo jñeyāḥ prādayastūpasargakāḥ . dyotakatvāt kriyāyoge lokādavagatā ime .. Upasargas are 20 in number: — pra, parā, apa, sam, anu, ava, nis or nir, dus or dur, vi, ā (ṅ), ni, adhi, api, ati, su, ut, abhi, prati, pari, upa; or 22 if nis-nir and dus-dur be taken as separate words. There are two theories as to the character of these prepositions. According to one theory roots have various meanings in themselves (anekārthā hi dhātavaḥ); when prepositions are prefixed to them they simply bring to light those meanings already existent but hidden in them, but they do not express them, being meaningless themselves; cf. Śi. 10. 15: — saṃtameva ciramaprakṛtatvādaprakāśitamadidyutadaṃge . vibhramaṃ madhumadaḥ pramadānāṃ dhātulīnamupasarga ivārtham ... According to the other theory prepositions express their own independent meanings; they modify, intensify, and sometimes entirely alter, the senses of roots; cf. Sk.: -upasargeṇa dhātvartho balādanyatra nīyate . prahārāhārasaṃhāravihāraparihāravat .. cf. also dhātvarthaṃ bādhate kaścitkaścittamanuvartate . tameva viśinaṣṭyanya upasargagatistridhā .. (The latter theory appears to be more correct. For a fuller exposition see Nirukta).
