para-praṇeya
Entry 8902, Page 319, Col. 1

(parapraReya, para-praReya)
para-praṇeya¦, needing to be guided by others (on account of blindness): Mv ii.212.4 (prose) and 214.4 (prose), Senart both times °prāṇeya (with both mss. 212.4 and one 214.4, also v.l. 221.2), interpreted as whose life (prāṇa) depends on others; 221.2 (vs) °praṇeyeṣu (Senart em. °yyeṣu), here short a in °praṇ° is required by meter; that Senart's theory is incorrect seems to me proved by 218.3 where the persons in question say that, being blind, they cannot go anywhere vinā praṇetareṇa, without a guide.
