Anyatara (अन्यतर).—adj., like Pali aññatara (and compare katara, q.v.) is very commonly used without its Sanskrit limitation to one of two; rather, as equivalent of Sanskrit anyatama (which is also used in [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] in the same way, notably in Divyāvadāna and Avadāna-śataka), and chiefly (1) in the meaning a certain; (an unspecified) one (of many): Mahāvastu i.36.10 (here could be interpreted in meaning 2); 343.4; ii.31.19; 65.1; 96.15; 145.4; 171.9; 461.14; iii.15.7; 53.13; Divyāvadāna 102.8; 226.19; 227.26; 254.6; Avadāna-śataka i.137.11; 208.8; 235.6; 244.3; Suvarṇabhāsottamasūtra 214.4; Rāṣṭrapālaparipṛcchā 39.16; Śikṣāsamuccaya 39.1 (wrongly rendered another by Bendall and Rouse); Gaṇḍavyūha 84.17; Karmavibhaṅga (and Karmavibhaṅgopadeśa) 32.12; 35.16; Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra 176.8; (2) much more rarely, another, any other (of an unlimited number); so possibly (but not probably) Mahāvastu i.36.10, above; and Rāṣṭrapālaparipṛcchā 56.19 sarvathānapekṣo 'bhūt kāye jīvite ca, prāg evānyatarasmin bāhyavastuni,…how much less (not to speak of) in regard to any other external matter; (3) some (one or other), one or another, substantially = anyatarānyatara, q.v.: (Ārya-)Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa 304.16 anyatareṇa śucinā celakhaṇḍena.

1) Anyatara (अन्यतर):—[=anya-tara] [from anya] as, ā, at either of two, other, different

2) [from anya-tara > anya] a certain one, [Divyāvadāna]

3) [v.s. ...] [from anya] anyatara anyatara, the one, the other

Anyatara (अन्यतर):—1. (see sarvanāman) m. f. n. (-raḥ-rā-rad(-rat); the dat., abl., gen. and loc. sing., the nom. and gen. plur. are similar to the corresponding cases of anya q. v.)

1) Either of two; e. g. ubhayoḥ pakṣayoranyatarasyādhyāpanādapratiṣedhaḥ; or nityopalabdhyanupalabdhiprasaṅgonyataraniyamo vānyathā (Śaṅkara: anyatarasyātmana indriyasya vā śaktipratibandhaḥ &c.); or svāpyayasaṃpattyoranyatarāpekṣamāviṣkṛtaṃ hi (i. e. either of profound sleep or of final emancipation).—In the rules of Pāṇini anyatarasyām (the locat. sing. of the femin.) ‘in either way’ means that a given rule is optional, may take place or not; comp. for synonymous terms vā, vibhāṣā, and the more precise terms aprāptavibhāṣā, prāptavibhāṣā, ubhayatravibhāṣā, vyavasthitavibhāṣā, mahāvibhāṣā, sarvavibhāṣā, also vibhāṣita, ubhayathā, vikalpa.

2) The other of two (one having been mentioned) [this meaning is probably meant when the Amarakosha, Hemachandra &c. make anyatara a synonyme of anya ‘other’]; e. g. in the Vārttika to Pāṇini V. 2. 47 ekonyataraḥ, where anyataraḥ is opposed as nimeyam to the word expressing the nimānam, as in the instance dvimayamudaśvidyavānām, where udaśvit ‘the object to be valued which is eka ‘one’, is nimeya, and the yava ‘the object determining the value (nimānam or mūlyam) is nimāna’ (comp. Kaiyyaṭa: anyataraśabdena nimeyameva vivakṣitam . eka eva yadi nimeyaguṇo bhavati tadā pratyayaḥ).

3) One of two, each being one of many; in this sense its use is probably restricted to passages belonging to the vaidik period, when it is followed by a correlate anyatara, both implying then ‘the one—the other, one—another’ (comp. anya—anya); e. g. Śatapathabr. I. 2. 1. 1. sa vai kapālānyevānyatara upadadhāti . dṛṣadupalenyataraḥ (thus explained in the genuine comm. of Śāyaṇa: anyataraḥ . ṛtvijāṃ madhya ekaḥ . āgnīdhraḥ . sa kapālānāmupadhātā . anyatarodhvaryuḥ . sa peṣaṇārthaṃ dṛṣadupale upadadhyāt). 2. m.

(-raḥ) A proper name; comp. ānyatareya (and itara, aitareya). E. anya, taddh. aff. ḍatara.
