    anna I. 1. m. f. n. (-nnaḥ-nnā-nnam) Eaten. [The use of this word,

    as a past participle of ad, is restricted, according to He-

    machandra's Dhātupārāyaṇa, to such passive constructions

    as correspond with our use of a past partic.; but while

    jagdha may be substituted for anna also in these cases,

    jagdha alone is admissible when ‘eaten’ is used either sub-

    stantively with a genitive depending on it or impersonally;

    adyarthācceti vādhāre (ādhāra is here equivalent to adhi-

    karaṇa of Pāṇ. III. 4. 76.) kte . idameṣāṃ jagdham .. pakṣe karmaṇi

    kte . jagdhamannam .. bhāve . jagdhamanena ..’.]

    2. n. (-nnam) 1 Food in general, eatable or drinkable;

    e. g. annaṃ pitṛmanuṣyebhyo deyamapyanvahaṃ jalam (comm.: annagrahaṇaṃ

    sakalādanīyapradarśanārtham); or annamiṣṭaṃ haviṣyaṃ ca dadyādakro-

    dhano'tvaraḥ (comm.: annaṃ bhakṣyabhojyalehyacoṣyapeyātmakaṃ pañca-

    vidhaṃ dṛṣṭam); also elliptically, the eating of food, e. g. sarvā-

    nnānumatiśca prāṇātyaye taddarśanāt; comp. also annakāla, anna-

    pānarakṣā &c. In the post-vaidik literature, an exalted eulo-

    gium of food as the supporter of creation is given e. g. in the

    Anuśāsanaparvan of the Mahābhārata v. 3204--3251 and 5541

    --5562; comp. also annada. 2 (In the Upanishads and the Vedānta

    philos.) Food in a metaphysical or mystical sense, the essence

    of the elementary creation, that of which the coarsest sheath

    or the coarse body of the Supreme Soul (see annamayakośa

    and sthūlaśarīra) is framed: the lowest and therefore not

    truest form in which Brahman (n.) or the Supreme Soul

    (comp. annabrahman) manifests itself in its worldly and con-

    scious existence (‘ye'nnaṃ brahmopāsate’; ‘annaṃ brahmetyeka āhu-

    stanna’; see also annaja). Compare besides prāṇa, manas, vi-

    jñāna, ānanda. In this form the Supreme Soul is also called

    vaiśvānara, virāj, viśva and jāgrat qq. vv., e. g. annaṃ vai virāṭ;

    or saiṣā virāḍdaśasaṃkhyā satyannaṃ cānnādinī ca. The process of

    this manifestation is thus imagined in the Taittirīya Upanishad:

    in the Supreme Soul originates æther, in æther air and so

    on in each preceding element successively fire, water, earth,

    herbs, food, from which comes semen and man; in food

    originate, too, all other creatures living on this earth (‘a-

    nnādvai prajāḥ prajāyante yāḥ kāśca pṛthivīṃ śritāḥ . atho'nnenaiva

    jīvanti . athainadapi yantyantataḥ . annaṃ hi bhūtānāṃ jyeṣṭhaṃ tasmā-

    tsarvauṣadhamucyate’). In the Vedānta the theory of this primi-

    tive developement is more intricate; comp. s. v. annamayakośa.

    (In the Aitareya Upan. food is represented as a being of

    organised form sprung forth from the heated waters, the

    process of creation differing materially from that imagined

    by the Taittirīya and the Vedānta.) 3 (The latter meaning

    applied in the doctrine of the Viṣṇuites to) Viṣṇu. 4 (ved.)

    Water. 5 Corn in general (comp. sarvauṣadha under meaning 2.).

    6 Boiled rice. [In the two last meanings anna is used also

    as a term of contempt; when combined with man cl. 4. in

    this sense, it depends on the latter in the accusative (not

    in the dative as similar terms, e. g. tṛṇa, busa, śvan &c. also

    may); e. g. na tvānnaṃ manye yāvadbhuktaṃ na śrāddham ‘not so much

    as a grain or a grain of boiled rice &c.’ (but na tvā tṛṇaṃ,

    busaṃ, śvānaṃ or tṛṇāya, busāya, śune manye); for similar terms

    comp. also nau, kāka, śuka, śṛgāla.] 7 A soup or sauce made

    of flesh; see annaprāśana. 8 A soup or sauce made of rice; see

    s. v. annamala. 9 Spirituous liquor made of rice; see s. v. annapeya

    and annamala. E. ad, uṇ. aff. kta; the native gramm. assign

    to anna in the meaning ‘boiled rice’, and probably also in

    the other meanings, the uṇ. aff. na which is nit. The Tait-

    tirīya-Upan. explains anna 2. 2. thus: adyate'tti ca bhūtāni

    tasmādannaṃ taducyata iti . ‘because it is eaten and because it

    eats what exists i. e. because what exists becomes again anna’.

    II. m. (-nnaḥ) The sun. E. According to an Uṇṇādisūtra

    as quoted in the Siddh. Kaum. and in Nṛsinha's Swara-

    mañjarī at, uṇ. aff. na; acc. to Hemach.'s Dhātupārāyaṇa,

    am (uṇṇādau damyamīti ne . annaḥ), uṇ. aff. na.
