English
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?
