aparAntaka
aparāntaka , f. °ikā , adj. of the western border, or of the country called Aparānta ; used of cloth or garments, also as nt. noun, (cloth or garments) of Aparānta Mvy 9179 ; °ka- in cpd. Divy 316.26 , of garments ( adj. or noun?). In Divy 20.22—23 perhaps read aparāntikayā guptikayā in the style of Aparānta (? see guptikā ); text asmāt parānti°. In Divy 1.3 ; 18.6 ; 19.16, 19, 23 ; 21.2, 12 the mss. read corruptly, and with much variation, a text discussed by the editors on p. 703 ; they read asmāt parāntaka- and interpret as a synonym of pratyantima , except in 19.19 where they read asmākam aparāntaka-, interpreting (with privative a-) as the opposite, not distant, near . The forms are troublesome; without much confidence I suggest that forms of aparāntaka may have been found in all, meaning something like of the western border (if not specifically of the country Aparānta ). But Tib. ( Bailey, JRAS 1950.172 ) on 19.19 points to Aśmāparāntaka , q.v. ; and this seems to have been the regular Tib. form acc. to Schiefner , cited Divy p. 703 .
