AND ENGLISH. 343 



Pan dak, short, lowly. A modification, or sort of diminutive of Pondok, short. (Mal.

Panda kawan, and Panakawan, an attendant, a follower; as with natives, generally 

 a young man as an attendant on a chief. Compounded of PandaJc, short, lowly, and 

 Kawan, an attendant. 



Pan dan, the screwpine, name of a genus of plants. Pandanus odoratissimus. The young 

 leaves, especially those about the flower, being shred fine and mixed with ffowers, are 

 worn in the hair by young natives when they are busy courting.

 Sancrit Etymology may be giveu for the word Pandan. Pan, C, 359, a leaf , leaves. 

 Daha, C. 263, a bud, a young sprout. Pan-ddlia-an> Pandan, the tree or object 

 which bears the „ leafy sprouts' 1 or „branches ", in allusion to the way in which the 

 Pandanus grows, being one main upright stem, surrounded by long broa'd leaves with-

Pandapa, an open hall in front of a house. An audience hall. (By mistake made from 

 Scr. Mandapa, a temporary building, an open shed or hall, erected on festival occasi- 

 ons as at a marriage. The Javanese mistook mandapa for a verbal form, and made 

 accordingly the substantive Pandapa. But there is vet in the district of Jasinga a 

 mountain called Mandapa according to his form.) 



Pandawa, the sons of Pandu in the Mahabarat. 



Pan dé, learned, erudite. Skilled. A blacksmith. From this we see that , at early periods 

 of Javanese history, blacksmiths were considered learned men , and the traditions of the 

 country countenance this idea, the art of the blacksmith being heldin great repute, and 

 designated by a sanscrit word. Before their intercourse -with the Hindus , the Javane- 

 se used stone hatchets which are still occasionally found , aud when the use of iron 

 became known, its workers were looked upon as "learned men 1 '. Pandi, C. 353, 

 learned, erudite, well-informed in theological study, the same as Pandita. In the Sin- 

 ghalese, or at least in their literature, a blacksmith and teacher or preceptor are 

 designated by words nearly alike, aud evidently of a common origin. Clough Page 

 61 gives — achariya, a blacksmith; achayarya, a teacher, a preceptor. So that 

 even on Ceylon and consequently also in India proper, the profession of blacksmith and 

 preceptor were looked upon as one. The Javanese and Balians confound Himpu in the 

 same way, which designates both a blacksmith and a learned man. (Cf. Scr. Panda. 

 knowledge, wisdom. A form Pandin or Pandya, which might have been altered into 

 Pandé, does not exist. Pandita is known enough. Himj?u read Hempu or Mpu. Fr.)
