    Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit Dictionary

    p. 46, col. 2.
    apahṛta-bhāra , adj. (= Pali ohita-bh°; so also in

    BHS, see s.v., but not in the passages cited PTSD s.v.

    ohita, which quotes LV apahṛta as apahita; Pali also

    panna-bh°), having laid aside one's burden(s), in Pali said

    of arahats, and so of arhants in BHS, SP 1.7; also of Buddha,

    LV 425.20; of śrāvakas, Mvy 1084 (and ohita° of Bodhi-

    sattvas). Probably ohita- in this cpd. in Pali (and in

    BHS) historically represents apahṛta, removed (so Tib. on

    Mvy khur bor ba, having laid off the burden); ava-dhā

    does not have this mg. in either Skt. or Pali, and apa-

    dhā is exclusively Rigvedic and rare even there.
