See also anādya.
in general, used in the same sense as anna; also elliptically:
the eating of food; e. g. nivartathāmyāyuṣe'nnādyāya (comm.
= annabhakṣaṇāya); or annādyāya…abhiṣiñcāmi (comm.
annādyamannabhakṣaṇasāmarthyam where the ‘fitness’ (of eating food)
however, is rather implied by the dative instead of in-
hering to the meaning of the base); or annādyādeḥ saṃvibhāgo
bhūtebhyaśca yathārhataḥ; and in the mystical acceptation of anna;
e. g. athātmane'nnādyamāgāyat; or etamṛgvedamabhyatapaṃstasyābhi-
taptasya yaśasteja indriyaṃ vīryamannādyaṃ raso'jāyata (comm. annā-
dyamannaṃ ca tadādyaṃ ca yenopayujyamānenāhanyahani devānāṃ sthitiḥ
syāttadannādyameṣa raso'jāyata yāgādilakṣaṇātkarmaṇaḥ). 2 Food
fit for the occasion at which it is eaten, proper food; e. g.
kuryādaharahaḥ śrāddhamannādyenodakena (comm. annādyeneti tilairvrī-
hibhiryavairityāderupādānam); or annādyena (scil. brāhmaṇānbho-
jayet) i. e. with choice dishes (comm. = miṣṭānnena). 3 Boiled
rice. E. anna and ādya (to be eaten). [In Röer's valuable
edition of Śaṅkara's comm. on the Bṛhadār., tadadyaṃ p. 279
(annādyamannameva tadadyaṃ ca) is probably a misprint for tadādyaṃ,
conformably to similar explanations of the same author,
e. g. Bṛhadār. p. 100, Chhānd. p. 161.]
II. Bahuvr. m. f. n. (-dyaḥ-dyā-dyam) Rice and so on (see
the meanings of anna); the same as if the latter part of the
compound were ādi; e. g. sārvavarṇikamannādyaṃ saṃnīyāplāvya
vāriṇā (comm. = sarvaprakāramannādikaṃ vyañjanādibhirekīkṛtya
&c.). E. anna and ādya (first).
