(Auto-Translation): Aparadhat, the principle of combining forms such as solids and liquids in such a way that they do not have any gaps, is known as the principle of syrupy fluidity. This principle should be referred to as Aparadhat. Apara is not something else. The lack of raw materials like stones and ice is due to the combinations and formations that Aparadhat creates. When Aparadhat is excessive, it must be syrupy. This syrupy nature, when taken to an extreme, can also be referred to as Apara. Refer to the original sources. Also look at Abandon, Abandonment Substance, and Abandonment Process.

Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
