Parinibbāyin
Parinibbāyin,[fr.parinibbāyati] one who attains Parinibbāna.Of the 2 meanings registered under parinibbāna we find No.1 only in a very restricted use,when taken in both senses of sa- and an- upādisesa parinibbāna; e.g.at A.II,155 sq.,where the distinction is made between a sa-saṅkhāra p.and an a-saṅkhāra p.,as these two terms also occur in the fivefold classification of “Never-returners” (i.e.those who are not reborn) viz.antarā-parinibbāyin,upahacca°,sasaṅkhāra°,uddhaṁsota,akaniṭṭhagāmin.Thus at D.III,237; S.V,201,237; A.I,233; IV,14,71 sq.,146,380; V,120; Pug.16,17.-- 2.In the sense of Parinibbāna No.2 (i.e.sa-upādisesa p.) we find parinibbāyin almost as an equivalent of arahant in two combns,viz.(a) tattha° (always combd with opapātika,i.e.above the ordinary cause of birth) [cp.BSk.tatra-parinirvāyin anāgāmin Divy 533].It is also invariably combd with anāvattidhamma,e.g.at D.I,156; III,108,132; M.II,56,146; A.I,232; 245,290; II,5,89,238; IV,12,399,423; V,343; S.V,346 (cp.406),357; Pug.16,62,83.See also Kvu trsl.742.-- (b) antara° [cp.BSk.antarāparinirvāyin MVastu I.33] one who passes away in the middle of his term of life in a particular heaven; an Anāgāmin (cp.Bdhgh’s expln at PugA 198 as “āyuvemajjhassa antarā yeva parinibbāyanato a.p.”) S.V,69=A.IV,70; S.V,201=204,237,285,314,378; A.II,134; Ps.I,161; Pug.16; Nett 190 (cp.A.IV,380).(Page 428)
