अन्त्यपद Karmadh. n. (-दम्) (In Arithmetic.) The last or
greatest root in the affected square
also called अन्त्यमूल,
ज्येष्ठपद, ज्येष्ठमूल and opposed to the आद्यपद or आद्यमूल,
कनिष्ठपद or कनिष्ठमूल ‘the least or first root’. These terms
are thus explained after Brahmagupta by Colebrooke
‘the
least or first root: that quantity of which the square multi-
plied by the given multiplicator and having the given ad-
dend added, or subtrahend subtracted, is capable of af-
fording an exact square root
the greatest or last root:
the square root which is extracted from the quantity so
operated upon’. E. अन्त्य and पद.
