(vijYA, vijYA)
vijñā¦ (cf. AMg. a-viṇṇā; no such noun seems recorded in Skt. or Pali), discretion, mature intelligence, in vijñā- prāpta or vijña° (with MIndic shortening before cons. cluster? § 9.6), arrived at years of discretion, of a child reaching maturity: ṛṣikumāro vijña- Mv ii.211.18 (prose; v.l. vijñā-); iii.145.8 (here mss. both āvijña°); yadā vijñā- prāpto 'smi iii.131.12 (no v.l.); sā dārikā vijñaprāptā 156.4 (no v.l.); yatra kāle vivṛddhā vijñaprāptā 184.6 (no v.l.); all prose. Since prāpta, q.v., may be preceded in comp. by an adj., we might assume the Skt. adj. vijña as prior member here; but the occurrence of vijñā- makes this doubtful.
