Pāribhaṭya (neuter) (and derivative) [from pari + bhr̥] "petting (or spoiling) the children" ( Q.K.M. II 287) but perhaps more likely "fondness of being petted" or "nurture" (as Path 32) (being carried about like on the lap or the back of a nurse, as explained at Vism 28 = Vibh-a 483). The readings are different, thus we find °bhaṭyatā at {455} Vbh 240; Vibh-a 338, 483; °bhatyatā at Vism 17, 23, 27 (vv.ll. °bhaṭṭatā and °bbhaṭṭatā); °bhaṭṭakatā at Miln 370; °bhaṭṭatā at Vibh 352; Pj I 236; Nidd II §39. The more detailed explanation at Vibh-a 338 is "alaṅkāra-karaṇādīhi dāraka-kīḷāpanaṃ etaṃ adhivacanaṃ." — See stock phrase under mugga-sūpyatā.
