The Pali Text Society's Pali-English Dictionary

write Pali in S. India & Ceylon, far from the ancient seat of the Aryan clans, the racial sense of the word
ariya was scarcely, if at all, present to their minds. Dhammap!la especially was probably a non -- Aryan,
and certainly lived in a Dravidian environment. The then current similar popular etmologies of ariya and
arahant (cp. next article) also assisted the confusion in their minds. They sometimes therefore erroneously
identify the two words and explain Aryans as meaning Arahants (DhA i.230; SnA 537; PvA 60). In other
ways also they misrepresented the old texts by ignoring the racial force of the word. Thus at J v.48 the text,
speaking of a hunter belonging to one of the aboriginal tribes, calls him anariya -- r(pa. The C. explains
this as "shameless", but what the text has, is simply that he looked like a non -- Aryan. (cp 2 frank 3 in
English).
Ar"hatatta
Ar"hatatta in phrase "ar"hatta ariyo hoti" at A iv.145 is wrong reading for ar"na' hatatt!. The whole phrase
is inserted by mistake from a gloss explaining arah! in the foll. sentence "!rakatt! kiles!na' ar"na' hatatt! .
. . arah! hoti", and is to be deleted (omitted also by SS).
