Apaviṇāti, is probably misreading for apaciṇāti (see apac° 2). As v. l. at J.V, 339 (anapavinanto) for T. anupacinanto (expld. by avaloketi C.). Other vv. ll. are anuvi° & apavī°; meaning “not paying attention”. The positive form we find as apavīṇati “to take care of, to pay attention to” (c. Acc.) at M.I, 324, where Trenckner unwarrantedly assumes a special root veṇ (see Notes p. 781), but the vv. ll. to this passage (see M. I.557) with apavīṇāti and apacinati confirm the reading apaciṇāti, as does the gloss apaloketi. (Page 53)
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.
