The following word, in the midst of much rice, suggests that a form of upta, sown, may be the true reading, with v.l.; antiṣṭha- could be superl. to Pali anti(ṃ), close by, near (Vedic anti): sown very close (up to the city-limits), in the midst of abundant rice?
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
