eastern
Pācīna (adjective) [Vedic prācīna, from adverb prāc bent forward] eastern i.e. facing the (rising sun (opposite pacchā) Ja I 50 (°sīsaka, of Māyādevī's couch), 212 (°loka-dhātu); Miln 6; Sv I 311 (°mukha facing east); Dhp-a III 155 (the same); Vv-a 190; Pv-a 74, 256. The opposite apācīna (e.g. S III 84) is only apparently a negative pācīna, in reality a derivation from apa (apa + ac), as pācīna is a derivation from pra + ac. See apācīna.
