An affix to nouns signifying Possessor; as द्रव्यवंत, धैर्यवंत, भाग्यवंत Rich, courageous, fortunate. Note. Attributives formed from nouns through the use of this affix, as they are formed with great freedom, may not all be looked for in this compendious dictionary. Yet as the grounds and rules upon which are distinguished वान् & मान्, the affixes from which वंत & मंत are respectively derived, are operative, although indeed with less rigor, upon these their derivatives, see the distinction stated under वान् & मान्.
