    ? avarṇa , adj., in Mv iii.343.1 °ṇaś ca, epithet of the

    Buddha's voice (svara); hence must be complimentary;

    but Skt. id. and Pali avaṇṇa are normally uncomplimen-

    tary. Senart has no v.l. or note and does not list the word

    in his Index. Perhaps semi-MIndic for Skt. avarṇya (or

    read this?), indescribable; cf. Pali avaṇṇanīya.
