Okkandika
Okkandika [kand or kram?] at J ii.448 is doubtful, v. l. okkantika. It is used adverbially: okkandika' k")ati
to sport (loudly or joyfully). C. explns. as "migo viya okkandi -- katv! k")ati"; in the way of roaring(?) or
frisking about (?), like a deer.
Okkamati
Okkamati [o + kamati fr. kram] lit. to enter, go down into, fall into. fig. to come on, to develop, to appear in
(of a subjective state). It is strange that this important word has been so much misunderstood, for the
English idiom is the same. We say 2 he went to sleep 3, without meaning that he went anywhere. So we may
twist it round and say that 2 sleep overcame him 3, without meaning any struggle. The two phrases mean
exactly the same an internal change, or developement, culminating in sleep. So in Pali nidd! okkami
sleep fell upon him, Vin i.15; nidda' okkami he fell on sleep, asleep, DhA i.9; PvA 47. At It 76 we hear
that a dullness developed (dubba**iya' okkami) on the body of a god, he lost his radiance. At D ii.12; M
iii.119 a god, on his rebirth, entered his new mother's womb (kucchi' okkami). At D ii 63 occurs the
question 2 if consciousness were not to develop in the womb? 3 (viññ!*a' na okkamissatha) S v.283 2
abiding in the sense of bliss 3 (sukha -- sañña' okkamitv!). See also Pug 13 = 28 (niy!ma okk˚, 2 he enters
on the Path 3). Caus. okk!meti to make enter, to bring to S iv.312 (sagga'). -- pp. okkanta. See also
avakkamati.
