Iti, (ti) (indecl.) (Vedic iti, of pron. base *i, cp. Sk. itthaṃ thus, itthā here, there; Av. ipa so; Lat. ita & item thus. Cp. also P. ettha; lit. “here, there (now), then”) emphatic‹-› deictic particle “thus”. Occurs in both forms iti & ti, the former in higher style (poetry), the latter more familiar in conversational prose. The function of “iti” is expld. by the old Pāli C. in a conventional phrase, looking upon it more as a “filling” particle than trying to define its meaning viz.—itī ti padasandhi padasaṃsaggo padapāripurī akkharasamavāyo etc. ” Nd1 123 = Nd2 137.

Iti (इति).— (probably a case of an original i + tya, see idam), adv. 1. Thus, [Mānavadharmaśāstra] 2, 237. 2. It is used in quoting words or thoughts of one’s self or some other: [Mānavadharmaśāstra] 2, 129, tāṃ brūyād bhavatīti, He may address her thus (i. e. by the word), bhavati; Chr. 4, 15, avocam...bhīṣmaḥ śāntanavaḥ kanyā karatīti, I spoke thus: ‘Bhīṣma the son of Śāntanu robs the girls,’ i. e. I. rob, etc.; [Nala] 16, 9, tarkayām āsa bhaimīti, he thought thus: ‘ṣe is the daughter of Bhīma’; [Nala] 20, 14, na hi jānāmi bhaved evaṃ na veti, I do not know (thus): may it be so or not, i. e. I do not know if it be thus or not. Generally words expressing ‘to say,’ or ‘to think,’ are wanting, e. g. [Pañcatantra] 68, 25, akuto pi bhayam iti, ‘There is no danger from any quarter’ thus (thinking); [Nala] 14, 14, na tvāṃ vidyur janā iti, ‘People will not know thee’ thus (thinking). Sometimes is added kṛtvā or ha, e. g. Mahābhārata 1, 1522, sakheti kṛtvā, Thinking you are my friend, [Mānavadharmaśāstra] 9, 45. 3. It often follows a question without expressing a distinct meaning, e. g. [Hitopadeśa] 53, 18. 4. It is used to denote the conclusion of a book or chapter, [Rāmāyaṇa] 1, end. 5. With preceding kim, Why, [Daśakumāracarita] in Chr. 197, 22.

1) Iti (इति):—[from i] 1. iti f. ityai ([dative case]) See √i above

2) [v.s. ...] (for 2. iti See s. v.)

3) 2. iti ind. ([from] pronominal base 3. i), in this manner, thus (in its original signification iti refers to something that has been said or thought, or lays stress on what precedes; in the Brāhmaṇas it is often equivalent to ‘as you know’, reminding the hearer or reader of certain customs, conditions, etc. supposed to be known to him). In quotations of every kind iti means that the preceding words are the very words which some person has or might have spoken, and placed thus at the end of a speech it serves the purpose of inverted commas (ity uktvā, having so said; iti kṛtvā, having so considered, having so decided). It may often have reference merely to what is passing in the mind e.g. bālo pi nāvamantavyo manuṣya iti bhūmipaḥ, a king, though a child, is not to be despised, saying to one’s self, ‘he is a mortal’, ([Gr. 928.]) In [dramatic language] iti tathā karoti means ‘after these words he acts thus.’

Sometimes iti is used to include under one head a number of separate objects aggregated together (e.g. ijyādhyayanadānāni tapaḥ satyaṃ kṣamā damaḥ alobha iti mārgo yam, ‘sacrificing, studying, liberality, penance, truth, patience, self-restraint, absence of desire’, this course of conduct, etc.)

iti is sometimes followed by evam, iva, or a demonstrative pronoun pleonastically (e.g. tām brūyād bhavatīty evam, her he may call ‘lady’, thus).

iti may form an adverbial compound with the name of an author (e.g. iti-pāṇini, thus according to Pāṇini). It may also express the act of calling attention (lo! behold!) It may have some other significations e.g. something additional (as in ityādi, et caetera), order, arrangement specific or distinctive, and identity. It is used by native commentators after quoting a rule to express ‘according to such a rule’ (e.g. anudāttaṅita ity ātmanepadam bhavati, according to the rule of Pāṇini, [ i, 3, 12], the Ātmane-pada takes place).

kim iti = kim, wherefore, why? (In the Śatapatha-brāhmaṇa ti occurs for iti; cf. Prākṛt ti and tti.)

4) ‘and so forth’ (iti coti ca, ‘thus and thus’, ‘in this and that manner’), [Mahābhārata]

5) Īti (ईति):—1. īti f. ([from] 4. ī?), plague, distress, any calamity of the season (as drought, excessive rain, swarm of rats, foreign invasion, etc.)

6) infectious disease, [Mahābhārata; Rāmāyaṇa; Suśruta] etc.

7) an affray, [cf. Lexicographers, esp. such as amarasiṃha, halāyudha, hemacandra, etc.]

8) travelling in foreign countries, sojourning, [cf. Lexicographers, esp. such as amarasiṃha, halāyudha, hemacandra, etc.]
