Vaṇṇa [cf. Vedic varṇa, of vr̥: see vuṇāti. Customary definition as "vaṇṇane" at Dhātup 572] appearance etc. (literal "cover, coating"). There is a considerable fluctuation of meaning, especially between meanings 2, 3, 4. One may group as follows. 1. colour Snp 447 (meda°); S V 216 (chavi° of the skin); A III 324 (saṅkha°); Thag 13 (nīlabbha°); Vv 45 10 (danta° = ivory white); Pv IV 3 9 ; Dhp-a II 3 (aruṇa°); Pj II 319 (chavi°); Vv-a 2 (vicitta°); Pv-a 215. Six colours are usually enumerated as vaṇṇā, viz. nīla pīta lohitaka odāta mañjeṭṭha pabhassara Paṭis I 126; cf. the 6 colours under rūpa at Dhs 617 (where kāḷaka for pabbassara); Ja I 12 (chabbaṇṇa-buddha-rasmiyo). Groups of five see under pañca 3 (cf. Ja I 222). — dubbaṇṇa of bad colour, ugly S I 94; A V 61; Ud 76; Snp 426; It 99; Pp 33; Vv-a 9; Pv-a 32, 68. Opposite suvaṇṇa of beautiful colour, lovely A V 61; It 99. Also as term for "gold." — As technical term in descriptions or analyses (perhaps better in meaning "appearance") in ablative vaṇṇato by colour, with saṇṭhānato and others: Vism 184 ("kāḷa vā odāta vā maṅguracchavi vā"), 243 = Vibh-a 225; Nett 27. 2. appearance S I 115 (kassaka-vaṇṇaṃ abhinimminitvā); Ja I 84 (the same with māṇavaka°); Pv II 1 10 (= chavi-vaṇṇa Pv-a 71); III 3 2 (kanakassa sannibha); Vv-a 16; cf. °dhātu. 3. lustre, splendour (cf. next meaning) D III 143 (suvaṇṇa°, or = 1); Pv II 9 62 (na koci devo vaṇṇena sambuddhaṃ atirocati); III 9 1 (suriya°); Vv 29 1 (= sarīr'obhāsa Vv-a 122); Pv-a 10 (suvaṇṇa°), 44. 4. beauty (cf. vaṇṇavant) D II 220 (abhikkanta°); M I 142 (the same); D III 68 (āyu + v.); Pv II 9 10 (= rūpa-sampatti Pv-a 117).

Cf. °pokkharatā.

I 27, 99 f.; cf. Vedic ārya varṇa and dāsa varṇa R̥V II 12, 9; III 34, 9: see Zimmer, Altind. Leben 113 and in greater detail Macdonell and Keith, Vedic Index II 247 f. ).
