Re: translation of paa.nikajaata in Satipatthana sutta

I have reason to believe that paa,naka means 'one endowed with life' or a living creature (being). So paa.nakajata would 'one born as a living creature'. Or simply a living creature, not necessarily 'small'. The word paa.naa is very common in the Pi.takas.

PTS Dictionary actually mentions that -jaata in some contexts can mean
"kinds of..." Thus gandhajaata: kinds of incense. See PTSD under jaata.
vividhehi paa.nakajaatehi khajjamaana must surely mean " being devoured by
various kinds of small creatures".
