Etthaṃ (एत्थं).—adv. (= ettha; not recorded elsewhere; only in prose, hence not m.c.; Senart em. first two passages to ettha, but keeps etthaṃ iii.316.11; 317.4; 417.6; see below), here: Mahāvastu i.24.2; ii.99.3 yattakā ete prāṇā etthaṃ yajñe haniṣyanti; repeatedly etthaṃ etaṃ śrūyati, here the following is recorded, Mahāvastu iii.316.11; 317.4; 417.6, and one ms. in 416.8 where Senart reads itthaṃ with v.l. and with 418.7, where both mss. itthaṃ. The meaning seems to be here, not thus; but perhaps the form is blended with itthaṃ.

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.
