pajaaya is the locative form of pajaa (generation). Pajaa is formed
from the stem 'ja' (birth) with the prefix 'pa', here meaning
something like 'forth'. Pajaa are those who have been born forth, ie
living beings, humans (and non-humans?). Compare 'pajaapati',
the 'Lord of Creation', a Vedic deity. A common passage, from the
Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta:
'sadevake loke samaarake sabrahmake, sassamanabraahmaniyaa pajaaya
sadevamanussaaya'
'In this world with its deities, its maras, and its brahmas, in this
generation with its monks and priests, its princes and people.'
happy pali-ing
