Yanti is 3"> pi. pres. of ya: see yati. — Note. At D 11.269
we should combine yanti with preceding visama &
sambadha, thus forming denom. verbs : visamayanti
" become uneven " and sarabadhayanti " become oppressed
or tight." The trsl"> Dial 11.305 gives just the
opposite by reading incorrectly.
Yantita [pp. of yanteti] made to go, set into motion, impelled
Th I, 574 : evayag vattati kayo kamma-yantena
yantito " impelled by the machinery of Karma " ;
ttsi.'^ Brethren 261 not quite to the point " carried about
on Karma's car." Kern, Toev. s, v. quite out of place
with " fettered, held, restrained," in analogy to his
trsl" of yanta id. loc. with " fetter." He may have
been misled by Dhtm def" of yant as " sankocana "
(see yanteti).
Yanteti [denom. fr. yanta. Dhtm 809 gives a root yant
in meaning of " sankocane," i. e. contraction] to set into
motion, to make go, impel, hurl J 1.418 (sakkharag

a pair, (m.) a twin Abhp 628. See der. yamaka.
Yamaka [fr. yama^] i. (adj.) double, twin; only in foil,
"patihariya (& °hira) the miracle of the double
comb"^ :
appearances, a miracle performed by the Buddha in
Savatthi to refute the heretical teachers (cp. Vin 111.332,
Samanta-pasadika ; and in detail DA 1.57). It consisted
in the appearance of phenomena of opposite
character in pairs, as e. g. streaming forth of fire &
vater. (Cp. Mhvs trsl' 120). The miracle was repeatedly
performed by the Buddha & is often referred
^
"
to, e. g. at Ps 1. 125 ("hira) ; J 1.77, 88, 193; Miln 10&
(°hirag), 349 (°hariyag); Mhvs 17, 44, 50; 30, 82; 31.

refers to the conversion of the bhikkhu Yamaka
and is given at S in. 109 sq. ; mentioned at Vism 479
& VbhA 32. The phrase yamakato sammasana at
Vism 626 may mean " in pairs " (like kalapato " in a
bundle " ibid.), or may refer to the Yamaka-sutta with
its discussion of anicca, dukkha, anatta.
Yamatag at S 1.14 (sa vitivatto yamatag sumedho) we
should read (with Mrs. Rh. D.'s emendation K.S.
p. 320) as yag matag (Cy. : manflanag
; trsl. " he rich
in wisdom hath escaped beyond conceits and deemings
of the errant mind ").
