English Meaning of anartha

Meaning of 'anartha'

m (S a & artha) Any exceeding, overwhelming calamity, e.g. an inundation, an epidemic, a hostile irruption: also the disorder, tumult, or distress occasioned by it. 2 Excess, extravagance, vehemence, boundlessness. It is used with the uttermost freedom, and of all actions, appearances, qualities, things, of which the speaker would express the immoderateness, exorbitance, or superlativeness. Ex. hya porane ṃradanyaca a0 mandila or raduna a0 kela This child is bellowing with might and main; devala bandhavayaca hyane ṃa0 mmandila He is straining every nerve and employing every means to build the temple; rajane ṃa0 majevala The Raja has set on foot a grievous oppression. amace nkutumba samagra kumbhakarne grasile nthara a0 mandila yanda sastaica a0 jhala pandhara payali tandula rupayasa milatata; pavasane ṃa0 kela; tyane ṃeka divasanta pancase ṃsrloka lihuna a0 kela. 3 Also used adj & adv in the above sense. Ex. ha a0 bolato; tyaci a0 buddhi. 4 Want or privation of meaning, nonsense. Ex. srlokaca artha soduna a0 kela. N. B. This last sense is the radical or literal sense, but it is uncommon. The intelligent student will recognise in it the source of the other senses, and will call to mind the similar use of the English word Nonsense. 5 Unsubstantialness, unsatisfactoriness, hollowness, inanity. Ex. jada anarthanta samana saca jo artha to mi priya manasaca In the midst of dreary vanity, the true and unvarying substance or good--am I, the beloved of man. (An utterance ascribed to Deity.) Oh! si sic omnia.
