Hi all,

Does anyone know the Pali word for 'Earth'?

Thanks,
ND

Greetings Drolma,

I assume from your question you're asking about "the name of the planet we live", rather than in the sense of "the world" or in the sense of the "earth element".

Metta,
Retro.

Thanks for clarifying, Retro. I mean earth-element, actually :anjali:

Thank you Bhante, wonderful site. I got this:

1. Paṭhavī : (page 403)
DhA ii.154. -- kampa shaking the earth, an earthquake DA i.130. -- kampana=kampa J i.47. -- kasiṇa the earth artifice (see Dhs trsl 43) D iii.286. -- dhātu the earth element (see above) D i.215; ii.294; iii.228, 247; M i.185; 421; S ii.170; Dhs 588, 648, 962 (cp. Dhs. trsln 241); Nett 73, 74; VbhA 55; --

So Pathavi is earth element?

Thanks :anjali:
