(anyatama, anyatama)
anyatama¦, adj. (1) (in this sense not precisely paralleled; cf. BR 7.1697, with śrī, another, a second Śrī), other, = anya: Av i.95.13 rājā prasenajid anyatamaś ca mahājanakāyaḥ, King P. and the other people, a great multitude; (2) at end of cpd., in (devo vā) devānyatamo vā MSV i.50.5, = Pali devo vā devaññataro vā, acc. to PTSD (a god or) one of the retinue of a god. Neither the context nor the Pali citations give any clue; it would seem to mean lit. some one of the gods.
