Buddhaghosa²² explains it as "\*nirantara-pūrita\*" perhaps in the sense that it is filled with fire. In the Visuddhimagga²³ the word appears to be a synonym for \*jarā\* (disintegration) and is used in connection with the disintegration of earth, water, mountains, sun, moon, etc. - [Previous: v1.c6.3256](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.3256) - [Next: v1.c6.3258](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.3258) - [Up: v1.c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.3257](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.3257) · Pramāṇa
