(santika, santika)
santika¦, adj. (= Pali id., stem in comp.; cf. next; MIndic for sāntika, q.v.; sa-, q.v., plus Skt. antika, as adj. Gr. Lex.), near: evaṃrūpāḥ sattvāḥ nirvāṇa-°kā bha- vanti Mv ii.287.14; santikāvacara (= Pali id.), living near [Page556-a+ 71] (with gen.): bhagavato upasthāyakaṃ (acc. sg.) bhaga- vataḥ °raṃ bhagavato saṃmukhaṃ Mv iii.49.13. The form sāntika, tho very likely a secondary Sktization of this, seems to support the above theory of its origin; it is not connected with santa(ka) as has been held by some (e.g. Senart, see next).
