neuter · peyyāla 1 · peyyāla 2
an indication to show that a passage has been omitted
Peyyāla (neuter?) [a Māgadhism for pariyāya, so Kern, Toev. sub voce after Trenckner, cf. BHS piyāla and peyāla Mvu III 202, 219] repetition, succession, formula; way of saying, phrase (= pariyāya 5) Vism 46 (°mukha beginning of discourse), 351 (the same and bahu°-tanti having many discourses or repetitions), 411 (°pāḷi a row of successions or etceteras); Vv-a 117 (pāḷi° vasena "because of the successive Pāli text"). — Very frequent in abridged form, where we would say "etc.," to indicate that a passage has be to repeated (either from preceding context, or to be supplied from memory, if well known). The literal meaning would be "here (follows) the formula (pariyāya)." We often find pa for pe, e.g. A V 242, 270, 338, 339, 355; sometimes pa + pe combined, e.g. S V 466. — As pe is the first syllable of peyyāla so la is the last and is used in the same sense; the variance is according to predilection of certain mss; la is found e.g. S V 448, 267 f.; or as v.l. of pe: A V 242, 243, 354; or la + pe combined: S V 464, 466. — On syllable pe Trenckner, "Notes" 66, says: "The sign of abridgment, pe, or as it is written in Burmese copies, pa, means peyyāla which is not an imperative "insert, fill up the gap," but a substantive, peyyālo or peyyālaṃ, signifying a phrase to be repeated over and over again. I consider it a popular corruption of the synonymous pariyāya, passing through *payyāya, with -eyy- for -ayy-, like seyyā, Sanskrit śayyā." See also Vinaya Texts I 291; Oldenberg, KZ 35, 324.
