because, in as far as D i.36 sq. (yato . . . ett!vat! because . . . therefore); Sn p. 113 (id.) Dh 374, 390
(doubled=from whichever source). -- Freq. in two combns: yatvâdhi -- kara*a' (yato+adhikara*a') because
(lit. by reason of which; cp. kim -- !dhikara*a', see adhik.) D i.70; D i.113; M i.269; Dhs 1346; cp.
similarly BSk. yato adhikara*a' MVastu iii.52; and yato -- nid!na' on account of which, from which (or
what) reason, because M i.109; Sn 273, 869; Pv iv.161 (cp. PvA 242). -- Note. yaticchita at PvA 265 is to
be read yadicchita.
Yatta
Yatta [pp. of yatati1] strenuous, making an effort, watchful Nd2 525 (+pa&iyatta, in exegesis of yata); J
iv.222 (+pa&iyatta); vi.294 (Kern's reading for yata; vv. ll. sa'yata & sata, thus warranting yata); Miln 373
(˚payatta), 378 (id.=in keen effort). -- Note. Kern, Toev. s. v. would like to equal yatta=Sk. yatna effort.
Yattaka
Yattaka (adj.) [fr. y!vant, a late formation; cp. Trenckner, Notes, 80] however much, whatever, as many (in
correlation with ta˚ or tattaka) J v.74 (=y!vant); Vism 184 (yattaka' &h!na' ga*h!ti . . . tattaka' . . .), 293
(yattak!=y!vat!); DA i.118 (yattaka . . . tattaka as long as); DhA ii.50 (˚' k!la' as long), 128; VbhA 73

t!ni as many . . . so many, i. e. whatever), 285 (yattak! !huneyy! n!ma . . . tesu sabbesu . . .). -- instr.
yattakena as adv. "because, on account of" DhA iii.383, 393.

occasionally "at which time," when; with verbs of motion="whereto." -- D i.240 (whither); Sn 79, 170 (here

104) 150, 171, 193, PvA 27. -- yattha v! tattha v! wherever (or whenever) DhA iv.162; similarly yattha
yattha wherever (he likes) A ii.64. yattha k!ma' (cp. yath!k!ma' in same meaning) where to one's liking, i.
e. wherever Dh 35 (=yattha katthaci or yattha yattha icchati DhA i.295, 299), 326. Similarly we find yatth -
- icchaka', almost identical (originally variant?) with yadicchaka' and y!vadicchaka' at Vism 154.
Yatra
Yatra (adv.) [the (older?) reconstituted Sk. form of P. yattha, cp. Vedic yatra in which, where. The P. form
is younger than the Vedic, as the P. meaning is doubtful for the V. period. It is merely a differentiation of
forms to mark a special meaning in the sense of a causal conjunction, whereas yattha is adv. (of place or
time) only] in which, where, since; only in phrase yatra hi n!ma (in emphatic exclamations) with Fut.; "as
indeed, inasmuch as, that" S ii.255 (ñ!*abh(t! vata s!vak! y. h. n. savako ñassati etc.); J i.59 (dhir -- atthu
vata bho j!tiy! y. h. n. j!tassa jar! paññ!yissati "woe to birth that old age is to be noticed in that which is
born!"); Miln 13 (acchariya' vata bho . . . y. h. n. me upajjh!yo ceto -- parivitakka' j!nissati).
Yath!
