Ex. īśvarācē guṇa sā0 nāhīnta; bhōjana bhāṣaṇa sā0 karāvēṃ. 2 That has yet time before it; of which the time (of execution, takingplace &c.) is not yet arrived. Ex. ajhūna tumacēṃ lagna sā0 āhē ēvhāmpāsūna kaśālā khaṭapaṭa karitāṃ? Also of which the term or period is yet unexpired or unfulfilled. 3 That has space yet remaining to be crossed or passed; having interval;--used of any object at a distance or apart. Also having interstice generally. 4 From accommodation of the first sense arises the classical and important sense Particular, not general or common; i. e. confined, restricted, observing bounds; as śēta is particular with respect to jamīna, phūlajhāḍa with reference to jhāḍa. Hence also the sense Comparative or relative; respective or referential.
