अभिन्नपदश्लिष्ट Karmadh. n. (-ष्टम्) (In Rhetoric.) A species
of paronomasia, considered as an अलङ्कार (q. v.) or elegant
mode of expression, viz. a connexion of words which ad-
mit of a double interpretation, the sentence consisting chiefly
of such words (and not of words which would admit but
of one sense)
an instance is the following verse of the
Bhaṭṭik.: भुवनभरसहानलङ्घ्यधाम्नः पुरुरुचिरत्नभृतो गुरूरुदे-
हान् श्रमविधुरविलीनकूर्मनक्रान्दधतमुदूढभुवो गिरीनहींश्च
(scil. जलनिधिमगमन्), where all the compounds are at-
tributes as well of गिरीन् as of अहीन्, according to the
double sense in which they may be taken. See श्लिष्ट or
श्लेष. E. अभिन्न-पद and श्लिष्ट.
