A mode of interpreting a sentence. According to this mode, an incomplete sentence is made to yield complete sense by supplying some extra word or words therein. अध्याहार should be clearly distinguished from अनुषङ्ग which also is a mode of interpreting an incomplete sentence; परिपूर्णमेवेदं वाक्यं नाध्याहारमर्हति विप्रलम्भ- कर्तृकम् ŚB. on MS.4.3.1 (see अनुषङ्ग). Compare also अपरि- पूर्णं यद् वाक्यं तदध्याहारेण वा पूर्येत व्यवहितकल्पनया वा । तत्राध्या- हाराद् व्यवहितकल्पना ज्यायसी । अध्याहारे हि अश्रुतः कल्प्येत । ईत- रत्र श्रुतेन सम्बन्धः । ŚB. on MS.7.4.1.
