final release from transmigration; death after the last life-span of an arahant
Parinibbāna (neuter) [pari + Nibbāna] "complete Nibbāna" in two meanings: 1. complete extinction of khandha-life; i.e. all possibility of such life and its rebirth, final release from (the misery of) rebirth and death (after the last life-span of an Arahant). This is the so-called "an-upādi-sesa Parinibbāna," or "extinction with no rebirth-substratum left." 2. release from cravings and attachment to life, emancipation (in this life) with the assurance of final death; freedom of spirit, calm, perfect well-being or peace of soul. This is the so-called "sa-upādisesa-Parinibbāna," or "extinction (of passion) with some substratum left." — The two kinds are distinguished by Buddhaghosa at Dhp-a II 163 as follows: "Arahatta-pattito paṭṭhāya kilesa-vaṭṭassa khepitattā sa-upādi-sesena, carima-citta-nirodhena khandhavaṭṭassa khepitattā an-upādi-sesena cā ti dvīhi pi parinibbānehi parinibbutā, an-upādāno viya padīpo apaṇṇattika-bhāvaṃ gatā." 1. D II 72 f. (the famous Mahā-Parinibbāna-suttanta or "Book of the Great Decease"); M III 127, 128; A II 79 (°samaye); III 409 (°dhamma, contrasted with āpāyika nerayika, {428} cf. Dhp-a IV 42); Mhv 7, 1 (°mañcamhi nipanna); Vv-a 158; Pv-a 244. 2. D III 55; A V 64; Snp 514 (°gata + vitiṇṇa-kaṅkho); Vv 53 24 (°gata + sītibhūta). This state of final emancipation (during life) has also received the determination of anupādā-Parinibbāna, i.e. emancipation without ground. for further clinging (literally without fuel), which corresponds to Buddhaghosa's term "kilesavaṭṭassa khepitattā sa-upādi-sesa p." (see above); thus at M I 148; S IV 48; V 29; A I 44; V 65 (nicchāto nibbuto sītibhūto etc).; A V 233 = 253 = Dhp 89 (+ khīṇāsava).
