Re: Meaning of sānu? [1 Attachment]

Dear Bryan, Jim and all

a) Where can I get a copy of the Abhidhanappadipika-ṭīkā?

I think Jim has already answered it. I have a Abhidhanappadipika published in Sri Lanka with Sinhala and English meanings,

b) what does vetthiyaṃ mean under item 607?

The word is not in the Suttas. So very difficult to give a meaning. I am giving it a try.

There is a word vetheti in the Pitaka, meaning bind, bonding etc. [see ṭhassa tho].

c) I am not clear on the meaning of the last few phrases

Patiṭṭhate asminti pattho: Pattho: standing on something--think of Sīle pathiṭṭhāya naro sapaññpo…Visuddhimagga

Sana sambhattiyaṃ, ṇu, sambhajīyate sevīyateti sānu--Sana is devotion, nu is to employ serve, associate etc. with devotion.

This is the meaning of sānu in the Samyutta. [In Pali adjectives are also nouns, names etc.]

The sānu as a plateau is in the commentaries. It is derived from the above. Plateu is a place of rest, freedom etc. Devotion to Dhamma brings rest, freedom, peace, and gets rid of fear.

There could be many mistakes in the above. Please read it carefull and comment on anything that you find not clear.

Dear all,

only for information the lemma and the explanations from Böhtlingk/Roth’s Großem Peterburger Wörterbuch! Here „Bergrücken“ is the regular meaning, but there are also combinations with vana etc.

Best,
Petra

Dear Bryan,

Just a quick response for now. Abh-ṭ is found in CST4. It's the same text we
both worked on in the past year when we were trying to figure out its
comments on the sabhāva septad of synonyms. The phrases that you're having
trouble with here are about etymology. I will look at the text more closely
and get back to you later.

Best wishes,

Jim
