Pāribhaṭya (nt.) (& der.) [fr. pari+bhṛ] "petting (or spoiling) the children" (Miln trsl. ii. 287) but perhaps more likely "fondness of being petted" or "nurture" (as Vism trsl. 32) (being carried about like on the lap or the back of a nurse, as expln at Vism 28=VbhA 483). The readings are different, thus we find˚bhaṭyatā atVbh 240; VbhA 338, 483; ˚bhatyatā at Vism 17, 23, 27 (vv. ll. ˚bhaṭṭatā & ˚bbhaṭṭatā); ˚bhaṭṭakatā at Miln 370; ˚bhaṭṭatā at Vbh 352; KhA 236; Nd2 39. The more det. expln at VbhA 338 is "alankāra -- karaṇ' ādīhi dāraka -- kīḷāpanaŋ etaŋ adhivacanaŋ." -- See stock phrase under mugga -- sūpyatā.
