-- vatthus (grounds of popularity) A ii.32, 248; iv.219, 364; D iii.190, 192, 232; J v.330. Cp. BSk. priya --
v!dya MVastu i.3; and ˚v!c! kind language D iii.152; Vv 8436 (=piyavacana VvA 345). -- It is doubtful
whether v!ca -- peyya at Sn 303 (Ep. of sacrifice) is the same as ˚v!c! (as adj.), or whether it represents
v!ja -- peyya
-- 473 --
[Vedic v!ja sacrificial food] as Bdhgh expls it at SnA 322 (=v!jam ettha pivanti; v. l. v!ja˚), thus peyya=
peyya1.
Peyy!la
Peyy!la (nt.?) [a M!gadhism for pariy!ya, so Kern, Toev. s. v. after Trenckner, cp. BSk. piy!la and pey!la
MVastu iii.202, 219] repetition, succession, formula; way of saying, phrase (=pariy!ya 5) Vism 46 (˚mukha
beginning of discourse), 351 (id. and bahu˚ -- tanti having many discourses or repetitions), 411 (˚p!)i a row
of successions or etceteras); VvA 117 (p!)i˚ vasena "because of the successive P!li text"). -- Very freq. in
abridged form, where we would say "etc.," to indicate that a passage has be to repeated (either from
preceding context, or to be supplied from memory, if well known). The literal meaning would be "here
(follows) the formula (pariy!ya)." We often find pa for pe, e. g. A v.242, 270, 338, 339, 355; sometimes
pa+pe combd, e. g. S v.466. -- As pe is the first syllable of peyy!la so la is the last and is used in the same
sense; the variance is according to predilection of certain MSS.; la is found e. g. S v.448, 267 sq.; or as v. l.
of pe: A v.242, 243, 354; or la+pe combd: S v.464, 466. -- On syllable pe Trenckner, Notes 66, says: "The
sign of abridgment. pe, or as it is written in Burmese copies, pa, means peyy!la which is not an imperative 2
insert, fill up the gap, 3 but a substantive, peyy!lo or peyy!la', signifying a phrase to be repeated over &
over again. I consider it a popular corruption of the synonymous pariy!ya, passing through *payy!ya, with
-- eyy -- for -- ayy -- , like seyy!, Sk. $ayy!." See also Vin. Texts i.291; Oldenberg, K.Z. 35, 324.
