Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryPabbedha, (pa+vedha of vyadh, cp. BSk. pravedha in same phrase at Divy 56, viz. ṣoḍaśa-pravedho) piercing through (measuring) an arrow shot Th. 1, 164 — J. II, 334 (soḷasa°=soḷasa-kaṇḍa-pāta-vitthāro C.).—Note. pabbedha owes its bb to analogy with ubbedha. It also corresponds to the latter in meaning: whereas ubbedha refers to the height, pabbedha is applied to the breadth or width. (Page 414)
