India history and geography
Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Indian Epigraphical GlossaryAnyatra.—(CII 1), ‘excluding’. Note: anyatra is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.

The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.

Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryAnyatra (अन्यत्र).—adv., (1) on the contrary (this meaning seems exclusively peculiar to [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit]); always after negative ex- pressions: Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 73.10 anyatra tena tenaiva dhāvanti, (they pay no attention and do not understand;) on the contrary, they run this way and that; 102.9 na kasyacid ācakṣed anyatraika evātmanādhyātmaṃ saṃtapyed, he would not speak of it to anyone; on the contrary, he would all alone be grieving himself by himself; 284.9; 378.4; Lalitavistara 71.6 (Māyā felt no heaviness of body, gurukāyatāṃ;) anyatra laghutām eva, on the contrary, nothing but lightness; 259.16; 260.8; 268.15; Mahāvastu iii.66.8 and 15 (there is no soul nor anything resembling a soul;) atha evaṃ anyatra karma caiva karmavipākaṃ ca hetuś (first time, hetuṃ) caiva hetusamutpannā ca dharmā(ḥ), but rather, on the contrary, only action etc. (see under atha); Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra 9.7 (see s.v. vikalpa; wrongly Suzuki); 39.7 anyatra kāraṇataḥ, on the contrary, from a cause (wrongly Suzuki); 119.6 (place daṇḍa be- tween evam and anyatra); 152.1; Rāṣṭrapālaparipṛcchā 42.4; Samādhirājasūtra 22.39 [Page041-b+ 71] (wrongly Régamey); Śikṣāsamuccaya 147.3 (and several times in Śikṣāsamuccaya followed by yāvad eva, just simply, q.v.); the negative may be repeated just before anyatra, but only as resuming the neg. of the preceding clause, not negating the clause containing anyatra: Bodhisattvabhūmi 121. (19-)21 (a Bodhisattva does not give a petitioner the trouble of asking repeatedly before he gives him a gift;) nānyatra yācitamātra eva, no; on the contrary, (he gives) the very moment he is asked; (2) except; in Sanskrit and Pali hardly used except as pre- position (with abl. in Sanskrit, Pali aññatra also with instr. and gen.); in Sanskrit very rarely as adverb, the noun being construed with other words in the sentence (see [Boehtlingk and Roth] 1.266 and [Boehtlingk] 3.251). In [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] I have noted a single case, not wholly certain, of anyatra as preposition with instr. (as in Pali, instead of abl. as in Sanskrit): Rāṣṭrapālaparipṛcchā 40.4 rātriṃdivaṃ bhavantībhir nānyā kathā kāryā, anyatra nṛttagītavād- itena, you are to say nothing else, except dance, song, and instrumental music (?). But the adverbial use in this meaning, so rare in Sanskrit and not recorded for Pali, is well established in [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit]; in the following cases the form and construction of other words in the clause is totally unaffected by anyatra; often it may be translated as if it were a con- junction, except that… It almost always follows a negative expression (or interrogative, rhetorically equivalent to neg.); and this is sometimes resumed by an additional na before anyatra (as in the last case under 1, above): Divyāvadāna 6.28 sārthaṃ na paśyati nānyatra gardabhayānam eva, he didn't see the caravan, not except only a donkey- cart; and with anyatra as quasi-conjunction, Mahāvastu ii.90.14-15 nāsti anyo upāyo nānyatra etaṃ samudraṃ utsicāmi, there is no other means, not (any) except (that) I bale out (exhaust) this sea. In the next the na before anyatra goes with the main verb (or rather ppp.): Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 318.4 nānyatra sattvānāṃ paripācanārtham avatāraṇārtham ete dharma- paryāyā bhāṣitāḥ, these dharmaparyāya are not spoken except (i.e. are spoken only) to mature creatures and make them arrive at comprehension. Otherwise, after negs.: Lalitavistara 149.1 (nānyaḥ…saṃvidyate ya etāṃ gaṇanāṃ prajānāty) anyatrāhaṃ vā yo vā syān mādṛśaḥ, except (it be) I or someone like me; Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 276.6-7 na ca taiḥ sārdhaṃ saṃ- stavaṃ karoty anyatropasaṃkrāntānāṃ…dharmaṃ bhāṣate, and he has no association with them, except that… he preaches the Law to them when they come to him; similarly 276.9—10; 324.8 yūyaṃ ca śabdaṃ na śṛṇotha mahyaṃ, anyatra so nirvṛtu lokanāthaḥ, and you do (would) not listen to my words, except (i.e. unless; sc. you believed that) the Lord of the World has entered nirvāṇa; Sukhāvatīvyūha 42.(10—)11 (na ca…nānātvam asty) anyatra…saṃ- khyāṃ gacchanti, except that…; Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra 19.8 (a passage badly misunderstood by Suzuki; e.g. in 7 read 'dharmā = adharmāḥ) na lakṣaṇataḥ kalpyāḥ (delete daṇḍa) te 'nyatra saṃvyavahārārthā abhidhīyante, they (impos- sibilities like the son of a barren woman) are not conceiv- able by way of characteristic marks, except that (? or possibly on the contrary, to 1) they are spoken of as terms of common use (they have existence only as words); Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra 20.1 anyatra …vibhāvyate, except that it is discussed… (after neg.); after interrog., Avadāna-śataka ii.121.4 kānyā putrasya gatir anyatra mātāpitarāv eva, what other recourse could there be for a son (i.e. there could be none), except his parents; no negative (except by vague implication), Divyāvadāna 293.

3) In another manner, differently from; with a noun in the ablative, e. g. apatyādhikārādanyatra laukikamapatyamātraṃ gotram, i. e. gotra in Pāṇini’s rule Iv. 2. 39 is to be taken in the sense of a son only, differently from the chapter on apatya (Iv. 1. 162) where it means the descendants beginning with the grandson (apatyamātraṃ na tu pautraprabhṛtyeva Kāś.).

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
