199. abhimukha, unmukha, saṃmukha.

To them we may subjoin, as they do duty of participles, the adjectives abhimukha, unmukha, saṃmukha when pointing out the direction of a movement. Then their proper meaning „[having] the face [turned] to” has dwindled down to a mere to or towards = prati. They are often used so, either as adjectives, or adverbially. — Examples of adjective: Panc. 208 svapurābhimukhaḥ pratisthe which is identical with svapuraṃ (or [svapuraṃ prati]) pratasthe; ibid. 299 mātuḥ saṃmukho gataḥ = mātuḥ sakāśe gataḥ; — of adverb: Panc. 64 sā svagṛhābhimukhaṃ pratisthe.
