    anyapadārtha Tatpur. m. (-rthaḥ) (In Grammar.) The sense of

    another word; this term is used by Pāṇini and his com-

    mentators to qualify the nature of a Bahuvrihi compound

    which always depends on, or refers to, the meaning of an-

    other word, the word anyapadārtha being thus used in contra-

    distinction of svapadārtha; e. g. Patanjali: athānyagrahaṇaṃ kima-

    rtham . anekaṃ padārthe . itīyatyucyamāne svapadārthe'pi bahuvrīhiḥ

    syāt . rājapuruṣaḥ . takṣapuruṣa iti naitadasti prayojanam . tatpu-

    ruṣaḥ svapadārthe bādhako bhaviṣyati . ; Kaiyyaṭa: athānyagrahaṇa-

    miti . antaraṅgatvātsvapadārthe samāse siddhe padārthagrahaṇasāmarthyā-

    danyapadārtho lapsyata iti praśnaḥ . svapadārthe'pīti . apiśabdā-

    diti svapadārthānyapadārthayoḥ samāsaḥ syāt . tatpuruṣa iti .

    bahuvrīhestvanyapadārtho'vakāśaḥ. [This word occurs only as

    a Tatpurusha. The quotation anyapadārtho bahuvrīhiḥ which

    is printed somewhere, is a misreading for anyapadārthapradhā-

    no &c. See the following.] E. anya-pada and artha.
