vītamoha : (adj.) without ignorance.

Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English Dictionary

Vītamoha refers to: without bewilderment Sn. 13. I have to remark that the reading vīta° seems to be well established. It occurs very frequently in the Apadāna. Should we take it in meaning of “excessive”? And are we confronted with an attribute of osadhi, the morning star, which points to Babylonian influence (star of the East)? As it occurs in the Vatthugāthās of the Pārāyanavagga, this does not seem improbable.

Note: vītamoha is a Pali compound consisting of the words vīta and moha.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
