(sArAyaRIya, sArAyaRIya)
sārāyaṇīya¦ (on etym. see below), (1) nt., hospitable entertainment, esp. with food: °yaṃ karetsu (so mss., prec. by na) saṃbuddhasya punaḥ-punaḥ Mv i.304.5 (vs), (the villagers) gave entertainment to the Perfectly Enlightened One again and again (sc. with food, which they had pre- viously refused him); ṛṣiṇā tasya lubdhakasya °ṇīyaṃ kṛtaṃ, yathā ṛṣidharmo phalodakam upanāmitaṃ Mv ii.96.17; (2) adj., f. °yā (= saṃrañjana, °nīya, saṃraja- nīya; = Pali sārāṇīya, which Childers derives from the Skt. root smṛ, following standard Pali comms., e.g. MN comm. i.110.16 ff., ii.394.31 f., but this is certainly wrong; Kern, cited PTSD, rightly regards BHS saṃrañjana, °nīya, as the true original; all forms can be derived from this; saṃ- gave sā-, and for -rañja- was substituted first *-rāja-, both by § 3.3, then -rāya-, as in BHS, § 2.34; finally in Pali this -rāya- was contracted to the single syllable -rā-, Pischel 149, 150, cf. § 3.118, Geiger 20; the rare BHS saṃrajanīya, if not an error for saṃrañj°, may be derived from the unnasalized form of the same root raj), courteous, pleasing, polite, friendly: this form noted only in Mv iii.47.18 etc. (cited, with list of passages, s.v. saṃmodate; always °yāṃ kathām); in iii.394.14, however, mss. sāropaṇīyāṃ instead (Senart em.), and one of them also reads sāropayitvā for the following vyatisārayitvā.
