इद्

A Sanskrit English Dictionary

इद्  n.  ind. Ved. (probably the neut. form of the pronom. base इ See 3. इ; a particle of affirmation) even, just, only
यथा वशन्ति देवास् तथेद् असत्   indeed, assuredly (especially, in strengthening an antithesis, e.g., as the gods wish it, thus indeed it will be, [RV. viii, 28, 4]; दि॑प्सन्त इ॑द् रिप॑वो ना॑-ह देभुः, the enemies wishing indeed to hurt were in nowise able to hurt, [RV. i, 147, 3]). इद् is often added to words expressing excess or exclusion ( e.g. विश्व इत्, every one indeed; शश्वद् इत्, constantly indeed; एक इत्, one only). At the beginning of sentences it often adds emphasis to pronouns, prepositions, particles ( e.g. त्वम् इत्, thou indeed; यदि इत्, if indeed, &c.) इद् occurs often in the ऋग्- वेद and अथर्व- वेद, seldom in the ब्राह्मणs, and its place is taken in classical Sanskṛt by एव and other particles.
