सन्तिक (santika)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
santika, adj. (= Pali id., stem in comp.
cf. next
MIndic for sāntika, q.v.
sa-, q.v., plus Skt. antika, as adj. Gr. Lex.), near: evaṃrūpāḥ sattvāḥ nirvāṇa-°kā bhavanti Mv 〔ii.287.14〕
santikāvacara (= Pali id.), living near [Page556-a] (with gen.): bhagavato upasthāyakaṃ (acc. sg.) bhagavataḥ °raṃ bhagavato saṃmukhaṃ Mv 〔iii.49.13〕. The form sāntika, tho very likely a secondary Sktization of this, seems to support the above theory of its origin
it is not connected with santa(ka) as has been held by some (e.g. Senart, see next).
