Etymological Notes

The word appears to derive from the prefix anu- (meaning “after” 
or “along”) combined with a root possibly related to ṣaṇḍa, which
is interpreted as a proper name or territorial designation in classical
references.

It is primarily lexicalized as a proper noun rather than a common 

noun with descriptive usage.

In summary, “anuṣaṇḍa” serves as a proper noun in Sanskrit, specifically 

denoting a place or country, with occurrences cited in classical 

dictionaries and Sanskrit textual databases. For precise textual

references and use in context, sources such as Monier-Williams and
