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〕.
