itthā́ ind. Ved. thus
• (often used in the Ṛig-veda, and sometimes only to lay stress on a following word
• therefore by native etymologists [Nir.] considered as a particle of affirmation.) itthā is often connected with words expressing devotion to the gods &c. in the sense of thus, truly, really
• especially with dhī as an adjective. Hence itthā-dhī = such, i.e. true (satyā) or real worship. Similarly, itthā-dhī́ mfn. so devout, so pious, i.e. very devout
• performing such or true works {cf. Sāy.} RV. AV. KaṭhUp.
