: BuddhaSasana: Concise Pali-English Dictionary

yaññāṭa : ((ⲹññ + āṭa), m.) the sacrificial pit.

: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English Dictionary

Yaññāṭa refers to: the sacrificial pit D. I, 142, 148; J. I, 335; III, 45, 517; VI, 215 (where reading ⲹññṭa, cp. ⲹññṭaka at Cp. I. 72). It has been suggested by Kern, Toev, s. v. and it seems more to the sense, to read ⲹññ-ṭa for yanñ’āṭa, i.e. enclosed place for sacrifice. Thus at all passages for °āṭa.

Note: yaññāṭa is a Pali compound consisting of the words ⲹññ and āṭa.
