[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Adhiroha in Purana glossary
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Adhiroha (अधिरोह) refers to “riding on a horse�, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.5 (“The Tripuras are fascinated).—Accordingly, as Arihan said to the Lord of the Three Cities: “O ruler of the Asuras, listen to my statement, pregnant with wisdom. It is the essence of the Vedānta and bears high esoteric importance. [...] Let there be hundreds of horses, of different varieties. But for the purpose of riding (adhiroha) only one can be used on one occasion. The pleasure that one derives in that sleep on a cushioned couch is the same that one derives by sleeping on the bare ground. Just as we, the embodied beings, are afraid of death so also the bodies from Brahmā to the worm are afraid of death. [...]�.
