nt dat sg of sabbapāpa (noun); nt gen sg of sabbapāpa (noun)
Analysis. sabba (all, every, the whole of) + pāpa (evil, bad, wicked; as noun: evil deed, demerit, sin) → 'all evil'. Genitive ending -ssa. Best known from Dhp 183: sabbapāpassa akaraṇaṃ, kusalassa upasampadā, sacittapariyodapanaṃ, etaṃ buddhāna sāsanaṃ — 'the not-doing of any evil, the undertaking of what is skilful, the cleansing of one's own mind: this is the teaching of the Buddhas' (the Ovāda-pāṭimokkha verse), where sabbapāpa covers unwholesome action of body, speech and mind (akusala-kammapatha).
Etymology. sabba = Sanskrit sarva 'all' (cf. Latin salvus, Greek hólos); pāpa = Sanskrit pāpa 'bad, evil', of uncertain origin, perhaps from a root meaning 'crooked, low' (cf. Skt papīyas 'worse'), used in Pali both adjectivally ('evil, wicked') and as a neuter substantive ('evil deed, demerit'), the opposite of puñña 'merit' and kusala 'wholesome'.
