taste displayed in the Nalodaya; this word is analyzed by
the comm. either as:] 1 A condition in which the essence(?)
of amorous pleasure is not rank in the heart (when tānta
seems to have been mistaken for tata, as ‘not languid’
might be expected instead of atānta = ‘avistīrṇa’, not rank,
not spread), or 2 Dwandwa. A woman who has obtained
no pleasure in her heart and wanders in her mind (to her
husband i. e. thinks of him, when equally atānta is made
to represent atata). E. 1 antar-atānta-rata-antara, taddh.
aff. tā; 2 antar-atānta-rata, fem. aff. ṭāp and antar-ata
(from at to go), fem. aff. ṭāp.
