Apaṅga (apāṅga) [Sanskrit apāṅga] the outer corner of the eye Ja III 419 (asitapaṅgin black-eyed); IV 219 (bahi°). Spelt avaṅga at Vin II 267, where the phrase avaṅgaṃ karoti, is explained by Buddhaghosa ibid page 327 as "avaṅgadese adhomukhaṃ lekhaṃ karonti". According to Kern, Toev. 20, Buddhaghosa's explanation is not quite correct, since avaṅga stands here in the meaning of "a coloured mark upon the body" (cf. PW apāṅga).
