    (= Pali a-raṇa, adj. and subst. nt.; araṇā not in Pali

    unless, by em. m.c., in Pv iv.1.33 for text araṇa-vihārī,

    see CPD s.v.; neg. of Pali, BHS raṇa, q.v., = kleśa,

    Pali kilesa), (1) adj., free from depravity, passion, impurity,

    mayuktam; on Av ii.130.2 see s.v. araṇya; RP 16.3 (vs),

    text araṇya-vividhaprānta sevamāno, read araṇa (required

    by meter; for °ṇaṃ) vivi°; in some cpds. seemingly adjec-

    tival, as araṇāśaya- (misprinted araṇaśaya), passionless

    heart, Dbh. g. 7(343).7, which suggests that for the corrupt

    text maitrapeśi raṇvanāśayo (!) ghanaḥ Gv 482.25 (vs)

    we must read maitra peśir araṇāśayo (°aṇva° is unmetr.!)

    ghanaḥ; prob. also Mvy 617 araṇa-samavasaraṇa, n. of a

    samādhi, cited from ŚsP 1414.17 where saraṇa is added

    after araṇa; Mvy 618, cited from same place; also araṇa-

    samādhi, passionless samādhi, Mv i.164.15, or having…

    (Bhvr.), Mvy 1125 (note that Pali uses araṇa as adj.

    with samādhi); (2) °ṇa, subst. nt., freedom from passion or

    depravity, non-passion, etc. Mv i.165.5 (vs) sukhaṃ sa-

    mādhiṃ araṇāni sevato; in cpds., araṇa-bhāvanayā

    Samādh 19.4 (prose; cf. 3, below), by bringing to pass

    freedom from kleśas; araṇavihārin (= Pali id.), dwelling in

    a passionless state, Mvy 6366 (here araṇā-vihārin, below,

    seems to indicate that araṇa is substantival in force);

    (3) araṇā, subst. f. (on Pali see above), in BHS seems =

    araṇa nt.; as separate word, in AbhidhK, see below, and

    Bbh 89.1 yā ca tathāgatasyāraṇā; in comp., araṇā-vihārin

    = araṇa-v°, above; sometimes ā could be m.c., as Divy

    (prose, = araṇa-bh°, above, in a closely parallel passage);

    araṇā-saṃpannā(ḥ) Mv ii.292.17; in LV 428.13 read with

    v.l. araṇā-dharma-supratilabdha for text araṇya°. La

    Vallée-Poussin, AbhidhK vii.86--88 defines araṇā as le

    pouvoir d'empêcher la naissance de la passion d'autrui; but

    in my texts it seems to be much less complicated, a simple

    equivalent of araṇa. Did it start in verses, m.c. (cf. Pali,

    above, Pv iv.1.33), and somehow come thence into prose?

    Or (more likely) was araṇā orig. adj. (to 1, above) with a

    fem. noun (samāpatti? cf. AbhidhK LaV.-P. iv. 121; or

    maitrā, Pali mettā?). See also Renou. JA 1939, 369 note 1.
