antizWa
antiṣṭha- , in Mv ii.390.1 , Senart antiṣṭha-guptāṃ (but mss. °guptaṃ or °uptaṃ) bahuśālimadhye, apparently epithet of rājadhānīm, capital city . The following word, in the midst of much rice , suggests that a form of upta, sown , may be the true reading, with v.l. ; antiṣṭha- could be superl. to Pali anti(ṃ), close by, near ( Ved. anti): sown very close (up to the city-limits), in the midst of abundant rice?
