Kīnāśa (कीनाश):—(kīnāśa [Die Uṇādi-Affixe 5, 56]) m. Pflüger: śu.aṃ kī.āśā a.hi yantu vā.aiḥ [Ṛgveda 4, 57, 8.] [Vājasaneyisaṃhitā 30, 11.] [Atharvavedasaṃhitā 4, 11, 10. 6, 30, 1.] kīnāśo govṛṣo yānamalaṃkāraśca veśma ca . viprasyauddhārikaṃ deyamekāṃśaśca pradhānataḥ ..

[Bhāgavatapurāṇa 3, 30, 14.] Die Armuth des leibeigenen und daher vererbbaren (vgl. oben die Stelle aus M.) Pflügers ist sprichwörtlich, so dass kīnāśa bisweilen so v. a. ein bettelarmer Mann ist: anāhitāgniḥ śatagurayajvā ca sahasraguḥ . samṛddho yaśca kīnāśo nārghamarhanti te trayaḥ .. [Mahābhārata 13, 3743.] arthāṃkāṅkṣatu kīnāśādvisastainyaṃ karoti yaḥ [4516.] kaṃ nu lokaṃ gamiṣyāmi tvāmahaṃ patimāśritā . nyastakarmāṇamāsīnaṃ kīnāśamavicakṣaṇam ..

1) adj. a) pflügend. — b) = kṣudra (welches unter Anderm auch arm; geizig bedeutet; smal, little [Wilson’s Wörterbuch]) [Amarakoṣa 3, 4, 28, 217.] [Hemacandra’s Anekārthasaṃgraha 3, 719.] [Medinīkoṣa śeṣa (s. II.). 18.] geizig [Hemacandra’s Abhidhānacintāmaṇi 368.] — c) = paśughātin Vieh schlachtend H. an.; statt dessen [Medinīkoṣa] : upāṃśughātin im Geheimen tödtend. —

2) m. a) eine Affenart (vgl. kīśa) [SVĀMIN] zu [Amarakoṣa im Śabdakalpadruma] — b) ein Beiname Yama's [Die Uṇādi-Affixe 5, 56.] [Amarakoṣa] [Trikāṇḍaśeṣa 3, 3, 302.] [Hemacandra’s Abhidhānacintāmaṇi 184.] [Hemacandra’s Anekārthasaṃgraha] [Medinīkoṣa] — c) ein Rākṣasa [Hemacandra’s Abhidhānacintāmaṇi 187.] — kīnāśa könnte aus kiṃnāśa entstanden sein; dieses liesse sich in kim + nāśa (von naś = 1. aś) zerlegen, welches bedeuten könnte: der zu keinem Besitz gelangt. Die Bedeutung ein armer Mann kann also die ursprüngliche sein. kann aber auch, nachdem die Etymologie des Wortes nicht mehr gefühlt wurde, sich wiederum aus der des Pflügers entwickelt haben.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
