The Pali Text Society's Pali-English Dictionary

the J!taka commentary, when it means Agni, has the phrase Aggi Bhagav! the Lord Agni, e. g. at J i.285,
494; ii.44. The ancient ceremony of kindling a holy fire on the day the child is born and keeping it up
throughout his life, is also referred to by that commentary e. g. J i.285; ii.43. Aggi' paricarati (cp.
˚paric!riy!) to serve the sacred fire Vin i.31 (ja&il!
-- 5 --
agg" paricarituk!m!); A v.263, 266; Th 2, 143 (= aggihutta' paric˚ ThA 136); Dh 107; J i.494; DhA ii.232.
aggi' juhati (cp. ˚homa, ˚hutta) to sacrifice (in)to the fire A ii.207; often combd. with aggihutta' paricarati,
e. g. S i.166; Sn p. 79. aggi' namati & santappeti to worship the fire A v.235. aggissa (gen.) paric!riko J
yi.207 (cp. below ˚paric!rika); aggissa !dh!na' A iv.41. -- 3. (ethical, always -- ˚) the fire of burning,
consuming, feverish sensations. Freq. in standard set of 3 fires, viz. r!g˚, dos˚, moh˚, or the fires of lust,
anger and bewilderment. The number three may possibly have been chosen with reference to the three
sacrificial fires of Vedic ritual. At S iv.19; A iv.41 sq. there are 7 fires, the 4 last of which are !huneyy˚,
gahapat˚, dakkhi*eyy˚, ka&&h˚. But this trinity of cardinal sins lies at the basis of Buddhist ethics, & the fire
simile was more probably suggested by the number. D iii.217; It 92, Vbh 368. In late books are found
others: ind˚ the fire of the senses PvA 56; dukkh˚ the glow of suffering ib. 60; bhavadukkh˚ of the misery
of becomings Sdhp. 552; vippa&is!r˚ burning remorse PvA 60; sok˚ burning grief ib. 41. Note. The form
aggini occurs only at Sn 668 & 670 in the meaning of "pyre", and in combn. with sama "like", viz. aggini --
sama' jalita' 668 (= samantato jali ta' aggi' Sn A 480); aggini -- sam!su 670 (= aggisam!su Sn A 481).
The form aggin" in phrase niccaggin" can either be referred to gini (q. v.) or has to be taken as nom. of
aggini (in adj. function with " metri causa; otherwise as adj. aggini'), meaning looking constantly after the
fire, i. e. careful, observant, alert. -- ag!ra (agyâg!ra) a heated room or hut with a fire Vin i.24; iv.109; D
