diÂÂha | seeing | the seen | the seen | the seen |
Pali Text Society, Pali English Dictionary (edited entry):
DiÂÂha: 1. seen -- Since sight is the principal sense of perception as well as of apperception (cp. cakkhu), that which is seen is the chief representation of any sense-impression, and diÂÂha combined with suta (heard) and muta (sensed by means of smell, taste and touch), to which vi¾¾¤ta (apperceived by the mind) is often joined, gives a complete analysis of that which comprises all means of cognition and recognition. Thus diÂÂha+suta stands collectively for the whole series; 2. known, understood; diÂÂha pa¾ha a problem or question solved; 3. (adj.) visible, determined by sight, in connection with dhamma meaning the visible order of things, the world of sensation, this world (opposite sampar¤yika dhamma the state after death, the beyond). Usually in compounds: diÂÂhadhamma, of this world, in this world; diÂhabhinibbuta, attained to Nibb¤na in this birth; ditÂhanibb¤na, earthly; diÂÂhasukhavih¤ra, happy condition (or faring well) in this world; diÂÂhavedan¨ya to be perceived in this condition |
