Panna
Panna [pp. of pajjati but not satisfactorily expld as such, for pajjati & panna never occur by themselves, but
only in cpds. like !pajjati, !panna, upp˚, upa˚, sam˚, etc. Besides, the word is only given in lexic. literature
as pp. of pajjati, although a tendency prevails to regard it as pp. of patati. The meaning points more to the
latter, but in form it cannot belong to pat. A more satisfactory expln (in meaning and form) is to regard
panna as pp. of pa+nam, with der. fr. short base. Thus panna would stand for panata (pa*ata), as unna for
unnata, ninna for ninnata, the double nn to be accounted for on analogy. The meaning would thus be "bent
down, laid down," as panna -- ga= going bent, panna -- dhaja=flag bent or laid down, etc. Perhaps patta of
patta -- kkhandha should belong here as panna˚] fallen, gone, gone down; also: creeping, only in foll. cpds.:
-- ga a snake Th 1, 429 (˚inda chief of snake -- demons); J v.166; Miln 23. -- gandha with gone down (i. e.
deteriorated) smell, ill -- smelling, or having lost its smell J v.198 (=thoka' duggandha C.). -- dhaja one
whose flag gone or is lost, i. e. whose fight is over (Ep. of the Buddha), cp. BSk. prap!tito m!na -- dhvaja1
Lal. V. 448 (with derivation from pat instead of pad, cp. pap!tana) M i.139 sq., 386; A iii.84 sq.; in eulogy
on the Buddha (see exegesis to mahesi Nd1 343; Nd2 503) reference is made to m!nadhaja (˚pap!tana')
which is opposed to dhamma -- dhaja ( -- ussapana); thus we should explain as "one who has put down the
flag of pride." -- bh!ra one who has put down his burden, one whose load has gone, who is delivered or
saved M i.139; A iii.84; S i.233; Dh 402 (= ohitakhandha -- bh!ra DhA iv.168); Sn 626, 914 (cp Nd1 334);
Th 1, 1021. -- bh(mi state of one who has fallen DA i.103 (opp. to jina -- bh(mi, one of the 8 purisa --
bh(miyo. -- cp. D i.54 & Dial. i.722). -- loma one whose hairs have fallen or are put down (flat, i. e. do not
stand erect in consequence of excitement), subdued, pacified (opp. ha&&ha loma) Vin ii.184 (cp. Vin ii.5 &
Bdhgh on p. 309 loma' p!teti, Bdhgh p!deti; also Vin. Texts ii.339); iii.266; M i.450; J i.377. Another
form is palloma (q. v. & cp. J.P.T.S. 1889, 206). See also remarks on parada -- vutta.
