岹ś (अदर्शन�) is the name of a mind-born ‘divine mother� (), created for the purpose of drinking the blood of the Andhaka demons, according to the Matsya-purāṇa 179.8. The Andhaka demons spawned out of every drop of blood spilled from the original Ի󲹰ܰ (Andhaka-demon). According to the Matsya-purāṇa 179.35, “Most terrible they (e.g., 岹ś) all drank the blood of those Andhakas and become exceedingly satiated.�

The Matsyapurāṇa is categorised as a Mahāpurāṇa, and was originally composed of 20,000 metrical verses, dating from the 1st-millennium BCE. The narrator is Matsya, one of the ten major avatars of Viṣṇu.

Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)

[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Adarshana in Vyakarana glossary
: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

岹śԲ (अदर्शन).—A term in ancient grammars and Prātiśākhyas meaning nonappearance of a phonetic member वर्णस्यादर्शनं लोपः (varṇasy岹śԲ� lopa�) (V. Pr 1. 141),explained as अनुपलब्धिः (Գܱ貹�) by उव्व� (ܱṭa). Later on, the idea of non-appearance came to be associated with the idea of expectation and the definition of लो� (lopa) given by Pāṇini in the words अदर्शन� लोपः (a岹śԲ� lopa�) (as based evidently on the Prātiśākhya definition) was explained as non-appearance of a letter or a group of letters where it was expected to have been present. See M. Bh. on I.1.60 . 4 and Kaiyaṭa thereon.
