Original text · English · previx
ā 3 . ā a prefix to verbs and nouns, (ex- pressing) near, near to, towards, from all sides, all around; and sometimes redundant. As a prefix to verbs of motion it expresses the notion of moving or going towards; e. g. ā-krāmati, he goes towards. When prefixed to roots like gam, yā, and i, to go, and dā, to give, it reverses the action; e. g. ā-gacchati, he comes; ā-datte, he takes. As unconnected with verbs and prefixed to nouns it forms with them either compound adverbs or adjectives, implying the limit conclusive (until, unto, as far as), or the limit inceptive (from, from thence or that time); e. g. ā-maraṇam, till death; ā-kumāram, from childhood [cf. a puero]; ā-gopālā dvijātayaḥ, the twice-born including the cowherds. (Prefixed to adjectives &c. it implies) diminution; e. g. ā-pāṇḍu, a little pale; ā-pakva, half-cooked. (As a separable adverb ā implies) near, near to, towards; thereto, further, also, and; especially, even. In many places in the Vedas ā gives force to the word which precedes it (e. g. mahimā vām In- drāgnī paniṣṭha ā, ‘your greatness, O Indra and Agni, is praiseworthy indeed’); and in a similar man- ner we find it in the Veda placed after prepositions, the sense of which is strengthened by it. (As a separable preposition with acc. or abl.) near to, up to, to, as far as; e. g. śatam ā jātīs, as far as a hundred births; ā samudrāt, as far as the ocean: (with abl.) away from, from; out of, of, from among; e. g. ā mūlāt, from the beginning; bahubhya ā, from among many: (with loc.) in, at; e. g. dama ā, in a house.

ā 1 Used as a particle or interjection showing (a) assent; ‘yes’, ‘verily’. (b) Compassion (anukaṃpā) ‘Ah’. (c) Pain or regret (usually written ās or āḥ q. v.), ‘alas’. (a) Recollection (smaraṇa) ‘Ah’, ‘Oh’; ā evaṃ kilāsīt U. 6. (e) But (used as a disjunctive conjunction). (f) And (used as a cumulative conjunction). (g) Sometimes used as an expletive; ā evaṃ manyase. In all these senses ā is treated as a Pragṛhya vowel (does not form any Saṃdhi with a following vowel) P. I. 1. 14. 2 (As a prefix to verbs and nouns) (a) it expresses the senses of near, near to, towards, from all sides, all around (see the several verbs). (b) With verbs of motion, taking, carrying &c. it shows the reverse of the action; as gam to go, āgam to come; dā to give, ādā to take; nī to carry, ānī to bring. 3 (As a separable preposition with abl.) it shows either (a) the limit inceptive (abhividhi), from, ever since, away from, out of, off, from among; āmūlāt śrotumicchāmi Ś. 1; bahubhya ā from out of many; ā janmanaḥ Ś. 5. 25 ever since (her) birth; ā manoḥ U. 6. 18. (b) Or, it expresses the limit exclusive or conclusive (maryādā), till, until, upto, as far as, unto; āṅ maryādābhividhyoḥ P. II. 1. 13; see abhividhi; ā paritoṣādviduṣāṃ Ś. 1. 2 till the learned are satisfied; ā kailāsāt Me. 11 upto or as far as Kailāsa; odakāṃtāt Ś. 4; U. 1. 37; V. 2. 2. In this sense ā sometimes governs the acc.; śatamā jātīḥ upto a hundred births. (c) In both these senses ā frequently enters ([Page 0220-1b]) into compound, forming either Avyayībhāva comp. or compound adjectives; ābālaṃ (or ā bālebhyaḥ) haribhaktiḥ commencing with or including children; āmukti (or āmukteḥ) saṃsāraḥ Sk. till final emancipation; āmekhalaṃ Ku. 1. 5 as far as.; āmaraṇaṃ Pt. 1 till death; āgopālaṃ nanṛtuḥ K. 70 down to the cowherd; āgopālā dvijātayaḥ including the cowherds. Sometimes the compound so formed stands as the first member of other compounds, so' hamājanmaśuddhānāmāphalodayakarmaṇāṃ . āsamudrakṣitīśānāmānākarathavartmanāṃ R. 1. 5; āgaṃḍavilaṃbi Ś. 6. 17; ākarṇalaṃbi M. 5. 10.
