anagArikA
anagārikā; anagāriya , nt. ; anāgāra ( nt. ); anāgārikā (= Pali anagāriya or anā°, generally nt. ; anagāra nt. only once, Sn 376 , otherwise m. and personal, also °rika, adj. and m. subst. , personal; °rikā not in Pali ), homeless (ascetic) life . In most texts anagārikā ( LV 18.8 ; 101.19 ; 103.20 ; Divy 17.17 ; 37.12 ; 141.1 ; Samādh 8.15 , etc. ; rare in Mv ii.69.1 with v.l. °riya), or anāgārikā ( Av i.136.6 , so best ms. , text ana°; i.234.1 , no v.l. ; Bbh 26.12 ; °kāṃ pravrajyāṃ Bhīk 10b.1 ), are the regular forms, but in Mv it is almost always anagāriya as in Pali ; this has not been noted elsewhere. Regularly in acc. sg. °rikāṃ, °riyaṃ (only once anāgāraṃ [ mss. , Senart ana°] upetasya Mv iii.387.1 ) depending on a form of pra-vraj (rarely of abhi-niṣ-kram, Mv ii.161.5 ff. ), and preceded by abl. (or in Mv gen. ) of agāra, retire from the home to the homeless life . In this phrase the preceding form is always agārād in all texts other than Mv , and sometimes there ( ii.161.5 ff. ; iii.408.2 ); in Mv also agārato iii.378.4 ; agārāto iii.176.2 ; agārebhyo i.128.10 ; read agārasmā, the Pali form, for agārasthā i.104.8 ; but most commonly the gen. agārasya i.322.15 ; 323.1 ; ii.117.18, 20 ; 140.3 ; 271.8 ; iii.50.11—12 ; 213.2—3 .
