Pali-English dictionary
: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryMantar, (n. ag. of mant, cp. Sk. *mant� a thinker) a sage, seer, wise man, usually appositionally Nom. Գ “as a sage, � “like a thinker, � a form which looks like a fem. and is mostly explained as such by the Commentaries. ѲԳ has also erroneously been taken as Instr. of manta, or as a so-called ger. of manteti, in which latter two functions it has been explained at “jānitvā. � The form has evidently puzzled the old commentators, as early as the Niddesa; through the Abhp (153, 979) it has come down at Գ “wisdom� to Childers. Kern, Toev. s. v. hesitates and only comes half near the truth. The Index to Pj. marks the word with? �-� S. I, 57 (+dhīra; translation “firm in doctrine�); Sn. 159 (“in truth, � opp. to musā; SnA 204 explanations m. =paññā; tāya paricchinditvā bhāsati), 916 (Գ asmī ti, explained at SnA 562 by “Գya�), 1040=1042 (=Nd2 497 Գ vuccati paññā etc.); Vv 636 (explained as jānitvā paññāya paricchinditvā VvA. 262).—Besides this form we have a shortened manta (Nom.) at Sn. 455 (akiñcano+), which is explained at SnA 402 as Գ jānitvā. It is to be noted that for Գٲ-ṇi at Sn. 850 the Nd1 219 reads Գ and explains customarily by “Գya pariggahetvā vāca� bhāsati. � (Page 522)
