Āṇañja see ānejja. Āṇañja Ānañja Ānejja and ānañja [abstract from an + *añja or *ejja = *ijja. The Sanskritised equivalent would be *iñjya or *iṅgya of iṅg to stir, move, with a peculiar substitution of *aṅg in Pāli, referring it to a base with r̥ (probably Sanskrit r̥j, r̥ñjati) in analogy to a form like Sanskrit r̥ṇa = Pāli aṇa and iṇa, both a and i representing Sanskrit r̥. The form añja would thus correspond to a Sanskrit añjya (*aṅgya). The third Pāli form ān-eñja is a direct (later, and probably re-instituted) formation from Sanskrit iñjya, which in an interesting way became in BHS re-Sanskritised to ānijya (which on the other hand may represent ānejja and thus give the latter the feature of a later, but more specifically Pāli form). The editions of Pāli texts show a great variance of spelling, based on mss vacillation, in part also due to confusion of derivation] — immovability, imperturbability, impassivebility.
