Anyapadārtha (अन्यपदार्थ):—[tatpurusha compound] m.

(-rthaḥ) (In Grammar.) The sense of another word; this term is used by Pāṇini and his commentators to qualify the nature of a Bahuvrihi compound which always depends on, or refers to, the meaning of another word, the word anyapadārtha being thus used in contradistinction of svapadārtha; e. g. Patanjali: athānyagrahaṇaṃ kimartham . anekaṃ padārthe . itīyatyucyamāne svapadārthepi bahuvrīhiḥ syāt . rājapuruṣaḥ . takṣapuruṣa iti naitadasti prayojanam . tatpuruṣaḥ svapadārthe bādhako bhaviṣyati . ; Kaiyyaṭa: athānyagrahaṇamiti . antaraṅgatvātsvapadārthe samāse siddhe padārthagrahaṇasāmarthyādanyapadārtho lapsyata iti praśnaḥ . svapadārthepīti . apiśabdādanyapadārthepītyarthaḥ . padārthagrahaṇaṃ vyāptisamāśrayaṇārthaṃ syāditi svapadārthānyapadārthayoḥ samāsaḥ syāt . tatpuruṣa iti . bahuvrīhestvanyapadārthovakāśaḥ. [This word occurs only as a Tatpurusha. The quotation anyapadārtho bahuvrīhiḥ which is printed somewhere, is a misreading for anyapadārthapradhāno &c. See the following.] E. anya-pada and artha.

context information

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.
