: BuddhaSasana: Concise Pali-English Dictionaryacchariya : (nt.) a marvel; wonder. (adj.), wonderful; marvellous.
: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryAcchariya, (adj.-nt.) (cp. Sk. āścarya since Upanishads of uncertain etym. � The conventional etym. of Pāli grammarians connects it with accharā1 (which is prob. correct & thus reduces Sk. āścarya to a Sanskritisation of acchariya) viz. Dhammapāla: anabhiṇha-ppavattitāya accharāpaharaṇa-yogga� that which happens without a moment’s notice, at the snap of a finger; i. e. causally unconnected (cp. Goth. silda-leiks in similar meaning) VvA.329; and Buddhaghosa: accharā-yoggan ti acchariya� acchara� paharitu� yuttan ti attho DA.I, 43) wonderful, surprising, strange, marvellous D.II, 155; M.I, 79; III, 118, 125, 144 (an°); S.IV, 371; A.I, 181; Miln.28, 253; DhA.III, 171; PvA.121; VvA.71 (an°). As nt. often in exclamations: how wonderful! what a marvel! J.I, 223, 279; IV, 138; VI, 94 (a. vata bho); DhA.IV, 51 (aho a.); VvA.103 (aho ti acchariyatthena nipāto). Thus frequent combd. with ܳٲ� = how wonderful & strange, marvellous, beyond comprehension, e. g. D.I, 2, 60, 206, 210; II, 8; and in phrase acchariyā abbhutā dhammā strange & wonderful things, i. e. wonderful signs, portents marvels, M.III, 118, 125; A.IV, 198; Miln.8; also as adj. in phrase ⲹܳٲ-(ٳٲ-) with their hearts full of wonder and surprise DhA.IV, 52; PvA.6, 50. � See also acchera & accheraka.
