Paropariya, (°ñāṇa) see under indriya°. The form is paro +pariya, paro heŕe taking the place of para. Yet it would be more reasonable to explain the word as para+ apara (upara?)+ya, i.e. that which belongs to this world & the beyond, or everything that comes within the range of the faculties. Cp. parovara. (Page 439)
