Re: suta-mayā paññā

Hello Yojislav,

Welcome to the list.

The "maya" after suta is a secondary affix (taddhita-paccaya) having the
sense of pakata (made, produced); Sutamayā paññā = sutena pakatā paññā
(wisdom made or produced by hearing). Sutamayā is an adjective modifying
paññā and both words are in the  nom. sing., fem.

Best wishes,

Jim

Hello,

suta-mayā paññā is translated as "wisdom from hearing".

How is suta-mayā from hearing?

If it is ablative (as it seems to me), shouldn't it be suta-asmā or
suta-amhā or something like that?

Where did mayā come from?
