J III. 40. rukkha''-upama Th i, 490 (in simile of kama.
taken fr. M 1.130) lit. "like the fruit of trees"
is expl'' by ThA 28S as " anga-paccanganai) p(h)alibhanjan'
atthena, and trsl'* according to this interpretation
by Mrs. Rh. D. as " fruit that brings tlie climber
to a fall." — Seven kinds of medicinal fruits are given
at Vin 1.20 1 scil. vilanga, pippala. marica, haritaka,
vibhitaka, amalaka, gothaphala. At Miln 333 a set of
7 fruits is u.sed metaphorically in .simile of the buddha's
fruit-shop, viz. sotapatti^, sakadagami", anagami",
arahatta", sunnata° samapatti (cp. Cpd. 70), ani-
mitta° samapatti, appanihita" samapatti. — 2 . a testicle

?> (fig-) fruit, result, consequence, fruition, blessing.
As t.t. with ref. to the Path and the progressive attainment
(enjoyment, fruition) of Arahantship it is used to
denote the realization of having attained each stage of
the sotapatti, sakadagami etc. (see the Miln quot.
under i and cp. Cpd. 45, 116). So freq. in exegetical
literature magga, phala, nibbana, e. g. Tikp 155, 158;
VbhA 43 & passim. — In general it immediately precedes
Nibbana (see Nd^ no 645'' and under satipatthana),
and as agga-phala it is almost identical with Araliantship.
Frequently it is comb'' with vipaka to denote
the stringent conception of " consequence," e. g. at
E) 1.27, 58; III. 160. Almost synonymous in the sense
of "fruition, benefit, profit" is anisar)sa D ni.132 ;

Phalita' [PP-
Phalln (adj.) [fr. phala] bearing fruit J v.242.
Phalina (adj.) [fr. phala, phalin ?] at J v.92 is of doubtful
meaning. It cannot very well mean " bearing fruit,"
since it is used as Ep. of a bird ("sakuni). The Cy.
expl° is sakuna-potakanag phalinatta (being a source
of nourishment ?) phaUna-sakuni." The v. 1. SS is
phalina & palina.
