Palibuddhati [the etymology offered by Andersen, PG sub voce palibuddha, viz. dissimilation for pari + ruddhati (rudh) is most plausible. Cf. avaruddhati and avaruddha] 1. to obstruct, refuse, keep back, hinder, withhold Vin II 166; IV 42, 131; Ja I 217 (cf. paṭibāhati ibid); III 138 (preterit °buddhi.); IV 159; Miln 263. 2. to delay Miln 404 (or should we read °bujjhati i.e. sticks, tarries, is prevented?). Passive palibujjhati [this word occurs only in commentary style and late works. In the Niddesa the nearest synonym is lag, as seen from the frequent combination palibuddha + lagga, palibodha + laggana: see Nidd II page 188 under nissita] to be obstructed or hindered, to be kept by (instrumental or locative) to stick or adhere to, to trouble about, attend to Nidd II §74, 77 (paligijjhati + p.), 88, 107, 597, 657; Miln 263. — past participle palibuddha (q.v.).
