N"la<br />

N"la (adj.) [Vedic n"la, perhaps conn. with Lat. nites to shine, see Walde, Lat. Wtb. s. v.] dark -- blue, blue -<br />

- black, blue -- green. N"la serves as a general term to designate the "coloured -- black," as opposed to the<br />

sensations of red (lohitaka) & white (od!ta), besides the distinct black or dark (see ka*ha). <strong>The</strong>refore n. has<br />

description of the 5 colours of the Buddha's eye: n"la p"taka lohitaka ka*ha od!ta (Nd2 235, Ia under<br />

cakkhum!); which goes even so far as to be used simply in the sense of "black & white," e. g. VvA 320.<br />
