adjective
Ajjhopanna (?) only found in one stock phrase, viz. gathita (q.v.) mucchita ajjhopanna with reference to selfishness, greed, bonds of craving. The reading ajjhopanna is the lectio difficilior, but the accredited reading ajjhosāna seems to be clearer and to harmonize better with the cognate ajjhosita and ajjhosāna (noun) in the same context. The confusion between the two is old-standing and hard to be accounted for. Trenckner under v.l. to M I 162 on page 543 gives ajjhopanna as B mss (= adhi-opanna). The mss of Nidd II clearly show ajjhopanna as inferior reading, which may well be attributable to the very frequent substitution of p for s (see Nidd II Introduction XIX.). Besides this mixture of vv.ll. with s and p there is another confusion between the vv.ll. ajjhāpanna and ajjhopanna which adds to the complication of the case. However since the evidence of a better reading between these two preponderates for ajjhopanna we may consider the o as established, and, with a little more clearness to be desired, may in the end decide for ajjhosāna (q.v.), which in this case would have been liable to change through analogy with ajjhāpanna, from which it took the ā and p. Cf. also ajjhosita. The following is a synopsis of readings as preferred or confused by the editors of the various texts. 1. ajjhopanna as Text reading: M I 162, 173, 369; A I 74; II 28; III 68, 242; Ud 75, 76; Sv I 59; as v.l.: D I 245. 2. ajjhosāna as v.l.: A I 74 (commentary explains ajjhosāya gilitvā ṭhita); Nidd II under nissita and passim ; Ud 75, 76 (ajjhosanna); Sv I 59 (the same). 3. ajjhāpanna as Text reading: D I 245; III 43, 46; S. II 194, 270: IV 332 (ajjhapaṇṇa); A V 178, 181; Nidd II under nissita; Miln 401; as v.l.: M I 162; A III 242; Ud 75, 76.
