Pali-English dictionary
Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryPannadhaja refers to: one whose flag gone or is lost, i.e. whose fight is over (Ep. of the Buddha), cp. BSk. prapātito māna-dhvajaḥ Lal. V, 448 (with derivation from pat instead of pad, cp. papātana) M. I, 139 sq. , 386; A. III, 84 sq.; in eulogy on the Buddha (see exegesis to mahesi Nd1 343; Nd2 503) reference is made to mānadhaja (°papātanaṃ) which is opposed to dhamma-dhaja (-ussapana); thus we should explain as “one who has put down the flag of pride. ”
Note: pannadhaja is a Pali compound consisting of the words panna and dhaja.
Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
