anyatra , adv. , ( 1 ) on the contrary (this mg. seems exclusively peculiar to BHS ); always after negative expressions: SP 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 ; LV 71.6 (Māyā felt no heaviness of body, gurukāyatāṃ;) anyatra laghutām eva, on the contrary, nothing but lightness ; 259.16 ; 260.8 ; 268.15 ; Mv 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 ); Laṅk 9.7 (see s.v. vikalpa ; wrongly Suzuki ); 39.7 anyatra kāraṇataḥ, on the contrary, from a cause (wrongly Suzuki ); 119.6 (place daṇḍa between evam and anyatra); 152.1 ; RP 42.4 ; Samādh 22.39 [Page041-b] (wrongly Régamey ); Śikṣ 147.3 (and several times in Śikṣ 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: Bbh 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 Skt. and Pali hardly used except as preposition (with abl. in Skt. , Pali aññatra also with instr. and gen. ); in Skt. very rarely as adverb, the noun being construed with other words in the sentence (see BR 1.266 and pw 3.251 ). In BHS I have noted a single case, not wholly certain, of anyatra as preposition with instr. (as in Pali , instead of abl. as in Skt. ): RP 40.4 rātriṃdivaṃ bhavantībhir nānyā kathā kāryā, anyatra nṛttagītavāditena, you are to say nothing else, except dance, song, and instrumental music (?). But the adverbial use in this mg. , so rare in Skt. and not recorded for Pali , is well established in BHS ; 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 conjunction, 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): Divy 6.28 sārthaṃ na paśyati nānyatra gardabhayānam eva, he didnʼt see the caravan, not except only a donkey-cart ; and with anyatra as quasi-conjunction, Mv 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. ): SP 318.4 nānyatra sattvānāṃ paripācanārtham avatāraṇārtham ete dharmaparyāyā bhāṣitāḥ, these dharmaparyāya are not spoken except ( i.e. are spoken only) to mature creatures and make them arrive at comprehension . Otherwise, after negs. : LV 149.1 (nānyaḥ … saṃvidyate ya etāṃ gaṇanāṃ prajānāty) anyatrāhaṃ vā yo vā syān mādṛśaḥ, except (it be) I or someone like me ; SP 276.6—7 na ca taiḥ sārdhaṃ saṃstavaṃ 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 ; Sukh 42.(10—)11 (na ca … nānātvam asty) anyatra … saṃkhyāṃ gacchanti, except that … ; Laṅk 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 (impossibilities like the son of a barren woman) are not conceivable 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); Laṅk 20.1 anyatra … vibhāvyate, except that it is discussed … (after neg. ); after interrog. , Av 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), Divy 293.(15—)16 (annādyaṃ parikṣīṇam) anyatra … ekā mānikā … avaśiṣṭā, (edible things were destroyed, i.e. there were none), except that … one m. was left ; Gv 206.5 (see s.v. upādāya 1 d).
