Rahas & Raho
Rahas & Raho (nt.) [Vedic rahas. The P!li word is restricted to the forms raho and rah!˚ (=*raha1); a loc.
rahasi is mentioned by Childers, but not found in the Canon. -- To rahati] lonely place, solitude, loneliness;
secrecy, privacy. -- 1. raho: occurring only as adv. "secretly, lonely, in secret," either absolutely, e. g. S
i.46; Sn 388; Pv ii.716 (opp. !vi openly); iv.140 (raho nisinna); Vism 201 (na raho karoti p!p!ni: araha'
tena vuccati); or in cpds. e. g. ˚gata being in private, being alone D i.134 (+pa&isall"na); Sn p. 60. See also
under pa&isall"na; ˚gama "secret convention, secret intercourse," fig. a secret adviser J vi.369 (after Kern,

defn of arahant at DA i.146=Vism 201 (rah!bh!vena ten' esa arahan ti). See also der. r!ha -- seyyaka. Note.
Hardy's reading yath! raha' at Pv ii.923 & PvA 78 is not correct, it should be yath' âraha' (cp. similarly p(j
-- âraha). In the same sense we would preferably read agg' !san' !di -- arah!na' "of those who merit the
first seat etc." at J i.217, although all MSS. have agg!san!di -- rah!na', thus postulating a form raha=araha.

rahassena (as adv.) secretly Mhvs 36, 80; acc. rahassa' id. Pv iv. 165. -- kath! secret speech, whispered
