ĀTYAYIKA (-KĀRYA)--An emergent situation
requiring immediate action. The King is ad-
vised to call a meeting of the ministers (mantri-
ṇaḥ) and of the committee of executive officers
(mantripariṣad) for consultation as soon as such
a situation arises. cf. ātyayike kārye mantriṇo
mantripariṣadaṁ cāhūya brūyāt (AS' I. 15). In
AS' I. 19 Kauṭilya observes-the King should
pay immediate attention to all the ātyayika
kāryas, and such situations should never be
allowed to pass unheeded. (sarvam ātyayikaṁ
kāryaṁ śṛṇuyānnātipātayet).
 
ĀDHĀTĀ--One who keeps the Ādhi with the cre-
ditor (AS', III. 12).
 
ĀDHI=(1) 'Pledge or mortgage of a chattel or im-
movable property to the creditor himself with or
without possession'. (HD. III. p. 419. f.n. 681).
(2) Vide AS' III. 1, III. 12, etc. and Manu Saṁ
VIII. 143-145.
(3) Medhatithi under Manu Saṁ, VIII. 143.
divides Ādhi into 2 types, viz. Gopya. (which is
simply to be retained without any enjoyment)
and Bhogya (which may be enjoyed by the
creditor, while retained with him). Bhogya again
is divided into two types, viz. that which yields a
perennial enjoyment and that which yields a
periodical enjoyment.
(4) Cf. also Yājñavalkya, II. 58 where it is
maintained that the Ādhi is forfeited if it is not
released by such a time during which the profit
yielded by it amounts to two times of its original
value.
