Ag!ra
Ag!ra (nt.) [cp. Sk. ag!ra, probably with the a -- of communion; Gr. a)gei(rw to collect, a)gora/ market. Cp.
in meaning & etym. gaha1]. -- 1. house or hut, usually implying the comforts of living at home as opp. to
anag!ra homelessness or the state of a homeless wanderer (mendicant). See anag!riy!. -- Thus freq. in two
phrases contrasting the state of a householder (or layman, cp. gihin), with that of a religious wanderer
(pabbajita), viz. (a.) kesamassu' oh!retv! k!s!y!ni vatth!ni acch!detv! ag!rasm! anag!riya' pabbajati "to
shave off hair & beard, put on the yellow robes, and wander forth out of the home into the homeless state"
D i.60 etc.; cp. Nd2 172ii. See also S i.185 (ag!rasm! anag!riya' nikkhanta); M ii.55 (ag!ra' ajjh!vasat!);

so pabbajati ag!r! anag!riya' viva&acchado sambuddho arah! bhavissati "he will become the greatest king
when he stays at home, but the greatest saint when he takes up the homeless life", the prophesy made for
the infant Gotama D ii.16; Sn 1002, 1003. -- Further passages for ag!ra e. g. Vin i.15; D i.102 (BB. has v. l.
agyâg!ra, but DA i.270 expl. as d!nâg!ra); A i.156, 281; ii.52 sq.; Dh 14, 140; J i.51, 56; iii.392; Dpvs.

paribbaje); Pv ii.25 (= an!v!sa PvA 80). -- (nt.) the homeless state (= anag!riy!) Sn 376. See also agga2. --
3. ˚!g!ra: Owing to freq. occurrence of ag!ra at the end of cpds. of which the first word ends in a, we have
a dozen quite familiar words ending apparently in !g!ra. This form has been considered therefore as a
proper doublet of ag!ra. This however is wrong. The long ! is simply a contraction of the short a at the end
of the first part of the cpd. with the short a at the beginning of ag!ra. Of the cpds. the most common are: --
!gantuk˚ reception hall for strangers or guests S iv.219; v.21. -- itth˚ lady's bower S i.58, 89. -- k(&˚ a house
with a peaked roof, or with gables S ii.103. 263; iii.156; iv.186; v.43; A i.230; iii.10, 364; iv.231; v.21. --
