Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Antika (अन्तिक) refers to the “outskirts (of the city)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.30 (“The Celebration of Pārvatī’s Return”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “On hearing that Pārvatī was returning, Menā and Himavat excessively delighted went ahead seated in a divine vehicle. [...] Women along with their sons and husbands held lamps in their hands. Brahmins were shouting mantras etc. in an auspicious voice. Various instruments were played. Conch shells were sounded. In the meantime Pārvatī reached the outskirts of the city (sva-pura-antika). Entering the city she saw her parents again. [...]”.

(-kaḥ-kā-kam) Near, proximate. Comp. anta, antara, antama, anti, antikatama, antitama, antiya, antya.—The words nedīyas and nediṣṭha are considered as the comparative and superl. of antika.—In the dramas janāntikam ‘what is spoken apart to a person so that none else may hear’ is opposed to svagatam ‘what is spoken to one’s self’. 2. n.

(-kam) Vicinity, neighbourhood. [antikāt forms [tatpurusha compound] compounds with a following kṛt formation in kta (i. e. with a past participle), e. g. antikādāgata;—such a word being a compound, because it has but one accent—; antikam, antikena, antikāt and antike are, besides in their literal acceptations, used like prepositions with a noun following or preceding in the genit. or ablat.; e. g. antikaṃ grāmasya or grāmāt ‘near a village’.

Words like keśāntika, nāsāntika, grahaṇāntika, āmaraṇāntika, prāṇāntika are not compounds of keśa, nāsā &c. and antika, but deriv. with taddh. aff. ṭhan of keśānta, nāsānta &c.] E. anta or anti, taddh. aff. ṭhan. Ii. f.

(-kā) A fire place, a furnace. Also antī and andikā. E. The native comm. derive it from ant, kṛt aff. ṇvul ‘because it connects with itself the cooking utensils’; but though a similar ellipsis is implied by its synon. adhiśrayaṇī, the same notion might be obtained by connecting its etym. with that of antika. Iii. f.

(-kā) The name of a plant (Echites scholaris), a decoction of which is used for one of the urinary diseases. E. Perhaps from anti Ii., denom. of anta, kṛt aff. ṇvul, the fem. of antaka; compare its synonyme śātalā (probably from the caus. of śad). Iv. f.

(-kā) (In theatrical language.) An elder sister, the same as attikā of which it seems to be, like artikā, a degenerated form.
