    Goldstücker Sanskrit-English Dictionary

    p. 114, col. 1.
    anta I. m. (-ntaḥ) 1 End. 2 Term, termination; e. g. kūpāntaḥ

    ‘the bottom of a well’. 3 Limit, boundary, border. 4 A

    place in general (comp. antara); e. g. vanāntaḥ (explained

    as vanabhūmi) ‘a place in the forest, or the forest-ground’.

    5 Part, portion; e. g. ekāntā anubandhāḥ (‘ekānta ityekadeśo

    'vayava ityarthaḥ’) ‘anubandhas are essential portions of a word’

    (comp. anekānta); or athavāyamantaśabdo'styevāvayavavācī .

    tadyathā . vastrānto vasanānta iti, as Patanjali comments on

    Pāṇini VIII. 4. 20. 6 End, completion; e. g. paśubandhāntamadhīte

    ‘he reads (the work) as far as and inclusive of the chapter

    on the tying of the victim’; or svapnānta Tatpur. ‘profound

    sleep’, Bahuvr. ‘in profound sleep’. 7 End of life, death.

    8 End, separation (comp. antara); e. g. maitreyīti hovāca

    yājñavalkya udyāsyanvā are'hamasmātsthānādasmi . hanta te

    'nayā kātyāyanyāntaṃ karavāṇīti ‘o Maitreyī, quoth Yājna-

    valkya, I am about to leave this place; hence with thy con-

    sent I shall make a separation between (thee and my other

    wife) the daughter of Kātyāyana’. 9 (In Grammar.) The

    final letter of a word. 10 (In Grammar.) The last part of

    a compound. 11 (In Grammar.) A pause. 12 Proximity,

    vicinity; e. g. udakāntaṃ gataḥ; or ācāryasya vasedante. 13 Pre-

    sence; e. g. jāyāyā ante nāśnīyāt (= na bhāryādarśane'śnī-

    yāt). 14 Positive conclusion, ascertainment.

    II. n. (-ntam) Nature, disposition, essence.

    III. m. n. (-ntaḥ-ntam) 1 The last portion, the remainder;

    compare antara. 2 Last; e. g. ante vayasi ‘in the last stage

    of life’. [According to a comm. on the Amarak. anta ‘last’

    remains masc. or neuter even when it is the attribute of a

    feminine (‘strīviśeṣaṇatve'pi strīliṅgatāniṣedhaḥ . tatra puṃna-

    puṃsakaliṅgataiva’).]

    IV. m. f. n. (-ntaḥ-ntā-ntam) 1 Lowest, worst. 2 Last born,

    youngest. 3 Near (compare antama and antika). 4 Handsome,

    beautiful. (For this last meaning, given on the authority of

    Viśva, the only instance--quoted also by the Śabda-

    muktāmahārṇava--which has occurred to me, is that of

    Māgha's Śiśupālabadha 4. 40. where the last part of the

    compound vimalopalamekhalāntāḥ is explained by the comm.

    on the authority of the Śabdārṇava antāḥ = ramyāḥ; yet

    as this meaning admits of no connexion with any of the

    other meanings of anta, it seems preferable to analyze the

    compound in °mekhalā-āntāḥ, when ānta could be taken

    as the participle (comp. Pāṇini VII. 2. 28.) of am ‘saṃbhaktau’ in

    the sense of bhakta ‘attached, served’; and this interpretation

    is the more probable, as the verse in question exhibits a

    permanent punning on words which either may be applied

    to women or to objects of nature, and as ānta would then

    correspond with bhajanti in the next line. E. am, uṇ. aff.

    tan or according to others, from ant, kṛt aff. ac or ghañ.

    Both etym. are not satisfactory; perhaps the origin of anta

    is in the elements of which the accus. plural is composed;

    see the Preface.

    ánta, m. Es bezeichnet ursprünglich das Gegenüberstehende (vgl. gr. ἄντα, ἄντην), daher 1) das dem Beschauenden Gegenüberstehende: die Nähe, Gegensatz parāká, die Ferne ({30,21}); daher im Loc. ánte fast dem gr. ἄντα, lat. ante gleichbedeutend ({860,11}), sowie dem vedischen ánti; 2) die einander gegenüberstehenden Enden oder Grenzen eines Dinges: Grenze, Ende, Gegensatz mádhya-m, die Mitte ({401,3}; {484,2}; {937,8}), und zwar nicht blos auf ein längliches Ding bezogen, sondern auch 3) auf einen Raum oder eine Fläche, also im letztern Falle der Rand, insbesondere der Erde oder des Himmels, oder noch häufiger 4) des Himmels und der Erde, divás pṛthivyā́s, wo an den Rand zu denken ist, in welchem beide nach dichterischer Anschauung zusammenstossen; doch bricht auch hier der Gegensatz der gegenüberstehender Enden, namentlich des östlichen und westlichen, mannichfach hervor; 5) bildlich wird es auf die Grenze der Grösse, der Kraft, des Reichthums, nur einmal 6) auf das Ende der Zeit ({179,2}) bezogen. 7) Insbesondere bedeutet es den Rand oder Saum eines Gewebes ({37,6}). Genau entspricht ihm das gothische and-s [m.], Grenze πέρας; die i-Form zeigt sich im goth. andi [n.], Ende. Vgl. ánti, ántama, ántaka.
