paryanta , ( 1 ) nt. (in Skt. only m. ), end : °taṃ ( n. sg. ), prāptaṃ mayā … LV 372.21 (at end of line of vs ; in 374.3 paryantaḥ … prāpto, in same series of vss ; both times no v.l. ); ( 2 ) at end of a cpd. , pātra-paryanta, m. Prāt 499.3 (= Pali patta-pariyanta, Vin. iii.246.13 ; comm. iii.708.33 evaṃ parivattetvā pariyante ṭhitapatto), the last, worst (of its kind, here bowl ), Chin. le plus laid ; cf. the following; ( 3 ) adj. , in obscure passage LV 147.2 evam aparyantāḥ sarvaśākyakumārā atha paryantaś ca bodhisattvaḥ; essential mg. must be thus all the Śākya youths were unsuccessful (didnʼt get to the solution? sc. in mathematical computation), and on the other hand the B. was successful . The Tib. reads as if the two terms pary° and apary° were reversed: de ltar (= evaṃ) sā kya gzhon nu de dag ( youths ) thams cad ( all ) ni phug thug par gyur (? became arrived at end? Foucaux , furent poussés à bout ), byaṅ chub sems dpaḥ la ni thug paḥi mthaḥ med par gyur to ( Foucaux , sans que le B. eût été poussé à bout lui-même ; Tib. is not quite clear to me but certainly contains a negative). If the apparent transposition in Tib. authorized the assumption that the true text was paryantāḥ śākyakumārā athāparyantaś ca bodhisattvaḥ, this and the preceding (2) would authorize setting up an adj. [Page334-a] paryanta, ‘at the end’, inferior , and then a-pa°, not inferior . But aparyanta also occurs in its Skt. mg. of limitless ; see e.g. aparyanta-tvāt LV 180.1 , because of the limitlessness .
