परप्रणेय (parapraNeya)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
para-praṇeya, needing to be guided by others (on account of blindness): Mv 〔ii.212.4〕 (prose) and 〔214.4〕 (prose), Senart both times °prāṇeya (with both mss. 〔212.4〕 and one 〔214.4〕, also v.l. 〔221.2〕), interpreted as whose life (prāṇa) depends on others
〔221.2〕 (vs) °praṇeyeṣu (Senart em. °yyeṣu), here short a in °praṇ° is required by meter
that Senartʼs theory is incorrect seems to me proved by 〔218.3〕 where the persons in question say that, being blind, they cannot go anywhere vinā praṇetareṇa, without a guide.
