Anuyanta at A v.22 is doubtful reading (v.l. anuyutta). The meaning is either "inferior to, dependent on, a subject of, a vassal" or "attending on". The explanation may compare Sk. anuyātaŋ attendance [anu + yā, cp. anuyāyin] or Sk. yantṛ ruler [yam], in which latter case anu -- yantṛ would be "an inferior ruler" and P. yanta would represent the n. a.g. yantā as a -- stem. The v. l. is perhaps preferable as long as other passages with anuyanta are not found (see anuyutta 2).
