(nirvfta, nirvfta)
nirvṛta¦ (ppp. to Skt. nir-var-, but even in Skt. used in ways which suggest secondary association with nir-vā-; so in Skt. extinguished, of fire, also BHS, Mv i.66.1; Divy 157.12; Av i.48.8; and esp. often happy, blissful, in worldly sense, also BHS, SP 106.13; Mv i.131.14), (1) like Pali nibbuta functioning as ppp. to nirvāṇa and its relatives, released, entered into nirvāṇa (oftener pari-nir°; see also nirvṛtaka and nirvṛti): SP 392.9; 393.2, etc.; (2) in Mv iii.214.6, 13 (vs) = Pali DN ii.242.18, 243.6, nirvṛta- (Senart with mss. unmetr. °tā; Pali nīvuta-, text with Cambodian sources, others nivuta-, ni- being unmetr.)- brahmalokaṃ (adv.; Pali °lokā, n. sg. f. adj.); (in such a way that the brahma-world is) cut off; shut out, excluded (from the br. world). So DN comm. ii.665.19 ff., nivuto pihito (and later paṭicchanno) brahmaloko assā ti. This implies Skt. nivṛta; the Pali nīvuta, adopted by ed., must have ī m.c.; Mv nirvṛta also, directly or indirectly, m.c., perhaps directly derived from a misunderstood MIndic nīvuta with false Sktization.
