pūraṇa 1 · pūraṇa 2
Pūraṇa (adjective/noun) [from pūreti] 1. (adjective) filling Snp 312 (? better read purāṇa with Pj II 324); Pv-a 70 (eka-thālaka°), 77 (the same). as proper name in Pūraṇa Kassapa, which however seems to be distorted from Purāṇa K. (D I 47; Snp page 92, cf. Pj I 126, 175; Pj II 200, 237, 372). The explanation (popular etymology) of the name at Sv I 142 refers it to pūreti ("kulassa ekūnaṃ dāsa-sataṃ pūrayamāno jāto" i.e. making the {423} hundred of servants full). 2. (neuter) an expletive particle (pada° "verse-filler"), so in commentary style of "a" Pj II 590; "kho" the same 139; "kho pana" the same 137; "taṃ" Pj I 219; "tato" Pj II 378; "pi" the same 536; "su" the same 230; "ha" the same 416; "hi" the same 377. See pada°.
