Abhitunna, (tuṇṇa) (not as Morris, J.P.T.S. 1886, 135, suggested fr. abhi + tud, but Acc. to Kern, Toev. p. 4 fr. abhi + tūrv. (Cp. turati & tarati2 and Ved. turvati). Thus the correct spelling is °tuṇṇa = Sk. abhitūrṇa. The latter occurs as v. l. under the disguise of (sok-)âhituṇḍa for °abhituṇṇa at M. Vastu III, 2). Overwhelmed, overcome, overpowered S.II, 20; Ps.I, 129 (dukkha°), 164; J.I, 407; 509 (°tuṇṇa); II, 399, 401; III, 23 (soka°); IV, 330; V, 268; Sdhp.281. (Page 64)

Abhitunna (अभितुन्न).—and abhitūrṇa (= Pali abhitunna, also written °ṇṇa; [etymology], see below), afflicted: Mahāvastu i.156.10 (verse) tasya…vacābhitunno…rudanto (subject Chandaka: afflicted by his words); iii.284.13 śokābhitunna (so Pali sokābhi°). The form abhitūrṇa is read by KN in Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 320.9 duḥkhābhir vedanābhir abhi°, with Kashgar recension; in 321.3 Kashgar recension also vedanābhitūrṇān, but KN this time °bhibhūtān. Kern cites Pāṇini 6.4.21 for tūrṇa (not recorded in literature) as ppp. of turvati, overcomes. Neither this root nor tud is recorded with abhi, except for the Pali form cited, which Critical Pali Dictionary derives from tud, but Kern (see [Pali Text Society’s Pali-English Dictionary]) from turv, doubtless because of [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] abhitūrṇa. The [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] °tunna could be a MIndicism; but contrariwise, perhaps, °tūrṇa could be an unhistoric hyper-Sanskritism. All that seems certain is that the two belong together and with Pali abhitunna.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
