Araṇa 1 (adjective/noun) [Vedic araṇa from °ara √r̥, which as ablative ārā is used as adverb far from, cf. Pāli ārakā. Original meaning "removed from, remote, far". See also arañña]. (adjective) living in solitude, far from the madding crowd M III 237 (°vibhaṅga-sutta); S I 44, 45; Ja I 340 (tittha°°). Araṇa 2 (neuter) [a + raṇa] quietude, peace Nett 55 (+ tāṇa), 176 (or as adjective = peaceful) Thig-a 134 (+ saraṇa); Vibh 19 f. (opposite saraṇa). See saraṇa 2 . -vihārin (or araṇā-vihārin) [to be most likely taken as araṇā°, ablative of araṇa in function of ārakā, i.e. adverb far from, away; the spelling araṇa would refer it to araṇa 2 . As regards meaning the Pāli commentators explanation it as opposite of raṇa fight, battle, i.e. peacefullness, friendliness and see in it a synonym of metta. Thus Dhammapāla at Pv-a 230 explains it as "mettā-vihārin", and in this meaning it is found frequently in BHS e.g. Divy 401; Avś II 131 (q.v. for further reference under note 3); Mvu I 165; II 292. Cf. also the epithet of the Buddhas raṇañjaha] — one who lives in seclusion, an anchorite, hermit; hence a harmless, peaceful person A I 24; Thig 358, 360; Pv IV 1 33 (= Pv-a 230); Thig-a 244. Cf.
