Abhinindriya, (vv. ll. at all passages for ahīnindriya) doubtful meaning. The other is explained by Bdhgh at DA.I, 120 as paripuṇṇ°; and at 222 as avikal-indriya not defective, perfect sense-organ. He must have read ahīn°. Abhi-n-indriya could only be explained as “with supersenseorgans”, i. e. with organs of supernormal thought or perception, thus coming near in meaning to *abhiññindriya; We should read ahīn° throughout D.I, 34, 77, 186, 195. II.13; M.II, 18; III, 121; Nd2 under pucchā6 (only ahīn°). (Page 65)
