Vipañcita [fr. vi+pañc, cp. papañcita] only in phrase ˚ññū either: knowing diffuseness or detail, or: of unillusioned understanding, clear -- minded, unprejudiced, combd with ugghaṭita -- ññū at A ii.135=Pug 41 (trsld by B. C. Law as "learning by exposition"; PugA 223 expls as "vitthāritaŋ atthaŋ jānāti," i. e. one who knows a matter expld in detail. The spelling at A ii.135 is vipacita˚; at Pug 41 vipaccita˚ & at PugA vipaccita˚, with v. l. vipañcita˚); Nett 7 sq., 125; SnA 163 (where ugghaṭita -- ññū is applied to those who understand by condensed instruction, sankhepa -- desanāya, and vipañcita -- ññū to those who need a detailed one, vitthāradesanā; thus "learning by diffuseness"). -- At Nett 9 we have the var. terms vipañcanā, vipañcayati & vipañciyati (Denom.) used in the description of var. ways of parsing and grammatical analysis. Here vipañcanā (resting clearly on Sk. papañca expansion) means "expanding" (by letters & vowels) and stands midway between ugghaṭanā & vitthāraṇā "condensing & detailing." The term vipañcayati (=vipañciyati) is used in the same way. -- Note. The term is not sufficiently cleared up. It occurs in BSk. as vipañcika (e. g. Divy 319, 391, 475, where it is appld to "brāhmaṇā naimittikā" & trsld by Cowell as "sooth -- sayer"), and vipañcanaka (Divy 548?), with which cp. vipañcitājña at Lal. Vist. 520. See remark on vejjañjanika.
