Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
paryavanāha, m. (= Pali pariyonāha, or °naha DN 〔i.246.16〕 = nīvaraṇa
cf. prec. items), growing over, covering [Page334-b] (only in bad senses): -timira-paṭala-paryav° SP 〔77.6, 11〕 (see paryavanaddha)
in Gv 〔401.10〕 (because of the even and well-spaced teeth of the mahāpuruṣa, as he eats food: nābhūt …) paryavanāho (follows abhiṣyanda, q.v.
precedes abhiṣajjana or atisarjana, qq.v.), app. some pathological condition of the teeth, growing over, covering (with remnants of food ? with tartar, or decay, caries?). One might think of impacted teeth which fail to grow out, except that the whole list of non-existent defects seems modified by asyāhāraṃ paribhuñjānasya.
