(parimARavant, parimARa-vant)
parimāṇa-vant¦, adj. (corresp. to Pali parimāṇa, as adj., Vin. ii.62.7 etc.), f. °vatī (āpatti), (sin) of (definite) extent (?): MSV iii.69.8, 12, etc.; opp. a-parimāṇavatī 70.11; 72.7 ff. (= Pali aparimāṇa). The real mg. is not clear, nor is it clear which category is more serious. Pali is equally uncertain, see SBE 17.421, n. 1. It does not mean ‘if the period is known’ (N. Dutt, Introd. xiv), for the period (rātriparyanta) may be known or unknown in the case of an aparimāṇavatī, 72.7 ff.
