English
अपीव्यदर्शन Bahuvr. m. f. n. (-नः-ना-नम्) Of very beautiful
appearance. In the two verses of the Bhāgav. Purāna (1.
12. 8.): ददर्श पुरुषं…। अङ्गुष्ठमात्रममलं स्फुरत्पुरटमौलि-
नम् अपीव्यदर्शनं श्यामं तडिद्वाससमच्युतम् (comm. अपी°
= अतिसुन्दरं दृश्यत इति दर्शनं रूपं यस्य तम्), and (3.
28. 17.) अपीव्यदर्शनं शश्वत्सर्वलोकनमस्कृतम् &c. (epithets of
Viṣṇu
comm. अपी° = अतिसुन्दरं भक्तिविषयं दर्शनं यस्य),
the Bombay edition reads in the text as well as in the
comm. अपीच्यदर्शनं
but the scrupulous care which distin-
guishes Bournouf's edition of this Purāṇa leaves no doubt
that his reading अपीव्य° has been adopted on account of
better evidence
it is supported, too, by the quotation of
the latter verse, in the valuable dictionary of Rādhākānta-
deva. E. अपीव्य and दर्शन.
