अन्तर् (antar)यामिन् (yāmin) (antaryāmin) [Printed book page 125-b]
अन्तर् (antar)यामिन् (yāmin) (antaryāmin) Tatpur. m. (-मी (-mī)) ¹ (In the Upan. and the oldest

Vedānta phil.) The supreme Soul as the inward regulator

of all the phenomena of the material and intellectual world,

in this and in a future life: ‘य इमं च लोकं परं च लोकं (‘ya imaṃ ca lokaṃ paraṃ ca lokaṃ)

सर्वाणि च भूतान्यन्तरो यमयति (sarvāṇi ca bhūtānyantaro yamayati)’; (’;) ‘अधिदैवतमधिलोकमधि- (’; (’;) ‘adhidaivatamadhilokamadhi-)

वेदमधियज्ञमधिभूतमध्यात्मं च कश्चिदन्तरवस्थितो यमयिता- (vedamadhiyajñamadhibhūtamadhyātmaṃ ca kaścidantaravasthito yamayitā-)

न्तर्यामी (ntaryāmī)’; (’;) not merely ‘the individual Soul of a divinity, of

a living being &c.’, but the same as the परमात्मन्; (paramātman; )‘अन्तर् (antar)याम्य- (‘antaryāmya-)

धिदैवादिषु तद्धर्मव्यपदेशात् (dhidaivādiṣu taddharmavyapadeśāt)’…‘तस्मात्परमात्मैवान्तर्यामी (ntaryāmī)’ (’…‘tasmātparamātmaivāntaryāmī’).--

² (In the later Vedānta.) Brahman (m.) as creator of the

world when under the influence of the first Gunā or of the

cosmical quality of सत्त्व (sattva) ‘goodness’; (’;) as such however, he

is not the purest form of Brahman, but inferior to Īśa who

is freed of all cosmical qualities. ³ (In the Vedānta applied to

the doctrine of the sects.) ^a. Viṣṇu or Purushottama when be-

coming human or individual Soul; e. g. अन्तः प्रविश्य भूतानि (antaḥ praviśya bhūtāni)

यो बिभर्त्यात्मकेतुभिः । अन्तर् (antar)यामी (ntaryāmī)श्वरः साक्षात्पातु नो यद्वशे (yo bibhartyātmaketubhiḥ . antaryāmīśvaraḥ sākṣātpātu no yadvaśe)

स्फुटम् ॥; (sphuṭam ..;) ^b. Śiva. E. अन्तर् (antar) and यामिन् (yāmin).
