    anṛta Tatpur. I. 1. m. f. n. (-taḥ-tā-tam) Untrue.

    2. n. (-tam) Untruth, falsehood. (In the mythology

    of the Purāṇas Anṛta is the son of Adharma (vice) and

    Hinsā (violence), and the brother of Nikṛti (immorality);

    they intermarry and have two sons, Bhaya (fear) and Na-

    raka (hell) and twins to them, two daughters, Māyā (de-

    ceit) and Vedanā (torture) who became their wives.--In the

    Rāmāyaṇa Anṛta is the name of one of the mystical weapons

    delivered to Rāma by Viśvāmitra.) E. a neg. and ṛta.

    II. n. (-tam) Agriculture. E. According to the native comm.

    the etym. would be the same as before; their account for the

    meaning ‘agriculture’ however is not very plausible, some

    explain it: ‘because agriculture is like falsehood’ or ‘because

    agriculture cannot be carried on without falsehood’, another

    refers ṛta in this sense to the radical ‘to hurt’ and ex-

    plains it as a Bahuvr. ‘that from which injury does not

    arise’. The etym. of this meaning and its probable con-

    nection with pramṛta used in the same sense by Manu will be

    discussed in the Preface.

Die Lexicographen ( AK. 2, 9, 2. TRIK. 3, 3, 147. H. 866. an. 3, 237. MED. t. 78.) geben dem Worte anṛta noch die Bedeutung Ackerbau, im Gegensatz zu ṛta Wahrheit, wie M. 4, 5. das Aehrenlesen bildlich genannt wird, weil dieses den ehrenhaftesten Lebensunterhalt des Brahmanen bildet. Im MANU kommt anṛta als bildliche Bezeichnung des Ackerbaues nicht vor, dieser heisst a. a. O. pramṛta gesteigerter Tod. Dagegen wird der Handel ( 6.) satyānṛta Wahrheit und Lüge genannt. Eine andere Erklärung hat KUHN in Ind. St. I, 352. zu geben versucht; vgl. jedoch II, 397.
