MVastu 1.3; and °vaca kind language D 111.152 ; Vv
84^* ( = piyavacana VvA 345). — It is doubtful whether
vaca-peyya at Sn 303 (Ep. of sacrifice) is the same as
°vaca (as adj.), or whether it represents vaja-peyya
[Vedic vaja sacrificial food] as Bdhgh expl* it at SnA
322 ( = vajam ettha pivanti ; v. 1. vaja°), thus peyya =
peyya'.
Peyyala (nt. ?) [a Magadhism for pariyaya, so Kern,
Toev. s. V. after Trenckner, cp. BSk. piyala and peyala
MVastu III.2C.2, 219] repetition, succession, formula;
way of saying, phrase ( = pariyaya 5) Vism 46 ("mukha
beginning of discourse), 351 (id. and bahu°-tanti having
many discourses or repetitions), 411 (°pa|i a row of
successions or etceteras) ; VvA 1 1 7 (pa|i° vasena " because
of the successive Pali 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 (pariyaya)." We often find pa for pe, e. g.
A V.242, 270, 338, 339, 355 ; sometimes pa-(-pe comb"",
e. g. S v. 466. — As pe is the first syllable of peyyala so
la is the last and is used in the same sense ;
is according to predilection of certain MSS. ;
the variance
la is found
e. g. S V.448, 267 sq. ; or as v. 1. of pe: A v.242, 243,
; 354 or la-t-pe comly' : 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
peyyala which is not an imperative ' insert, fill up the
gap,' but a substantive, peyyalo or peyyalai), signifying
a phrase to be repeated over & over again. I
consider it a popular corruption of the synonymous
pariyaya, passing through *payyaya, with -eyy- for
-ayy-, like seyya, Sk. Sayya." See also Vin. Texts

Perita is Kern's {Toev. s. v.) proposed reading for what he
considered a faulty spelling in bhaya-merita (p for m)
J IV. 424 = v. 359. This, however is bhaya-merita with
the hiatus-m, and to supplant perita ( = Sk. prerita) is
unjustified.
