2) ind. a particle of reminiscence Pāṇ. 1-1, 14 Pat. ;
alsoﾠ of compassion orﾠ pain <more correctly written 1. ās q.v.>, andﾠ of assent L. <This particle remains unaltered in orthography even before vowels (which causes it to be sometimes confounded with 1. ās) Pāṇ. 1-1, 14. >

grandfather L. ;
(ās) f. N. of Lakshmī L. ;
ā́

in the Veda, of course, the prefix is separable from the verb;
in a few cases RV. I, 10, 11 and V, 64, 5,
a verb in the imperative is to be supplied;
with roots like gam, yā, andﾠ i, « to go», andﾠ 1. dā, « to give», it reverses the action;
e.g.. ā-gacchati, « he comes» ;
ā-datte, « he takes»). (As a prep. with a preceding acc.) near to, towards, to RV. ;
(with a preceding noun in the acc., as jósham orﾠ váram) for RV. ;
(with a following acc.) up to. exclusively AitBr. ;
(with a preceding abl.) from RV. AV. ;
out of, from among (e.g.. bahúbhyaā́, « from among many») RV. ;
towards (only in asmádā́, « towards us») RV. ;
(with a following abl. cf. Pāṇ. 2-1, 13 and 3, 10)
up to, to, as far as RV. AV. etc.;
from RV. I, 30, 21 ;
(with a preceding loc.) in, at, on RV. AV. (As an adv. after words expressing a number orﾠ degree) fully, really, indeed (e.g.. trírā́divás, « quite orﾠ fully three times a day» ;
mahimā́vāmíndrâ̱gnīpánishṭha, ā́, « your greatness, O Indra andﾠ Agni, is most praiseworthy indeed», etc.) RV. ;
(after a subst. orﾠ adj.) « as, like», ( orﾠ it simply strengthens the sense of the preceding word) RV., (after a verb) RV. V, 7, 7 and KenaUp. ;
(as a conjunctive particle) moreover, further, andﾠ (it is placed either between the two words connected <rarely after the second RV. X, 16, 11, orﾠ after both RV. X, 92, 8 >
orﾠ, if there are more, after the last < RV. IV, 57, 1 and X, 75, 5 >;
seeﾠ alsoﾠ â̱taṡca s.v.)
In classical Sanskṛit it may denote the limit « to», « until», « as far as», « from»,
either not including the object named orﾠ including it
(sometimes with acc. orﾠ abl. orﾠ forming an adv.)
e.g.. ā-maraṇam orﾠ ā-maranāt, « till death» Pañcat. ;
(cf. ā-maraṇâ̱nta etc.);
ā-gopālādvijātayaḥ, « the twice-born including the cowherds» MBh. II, 531 ;
ā-samudram orﾠ ā-samudrāt, « as far as the ocean» orﾠ « from the ocean» (but not including it);
ā-kumāram, « from a child» orﾠ « from childhood» orﾠ « to a child»
(cf. Lat. apuero) MBh. III, 1403 ;
ā-kumāramyaṡaḥpāṇineḥ, « the fame of Pāṇini extends even to children» ;
ājānu-bāhu mfn. « one whose arms reach down to the knees» R. I, 1, 12 ;
( seeﾠ alsoﾠ ākarṇa- andﾠ ājanma-);
(cf. ā-jarasám, ā-vyushám, ā-saptama, ôtsūyám.) Prefixed to adj. <rarely to subst.;
cf. ā-kopa> it implies diminution Pāṇ. 2-2, 18 Comm. ;
« a little» e.g.. ā-piñjara mfn. a little red, reddish Ragh. XVI, 51 ;
( seeﾠ alsoﾠ ā-pakva, ôshṇa, etc.) Some commentaries
(e.g.. Comm. on Ragh. III, 8) occasionally give to ā in this application the meaning samantāt, « all through, completely», as ā-nīla, « blue all round»
