Nibbana (adj.) 1. [Sk. nirvana] without forest, woodless J ii.358. — 2. [an abstr. fr. nibbāna, see nibbāna I.; cp. vana2. Freq. nibbāna as v. l. instead of nibbana] without cravings Sn 1131 (nikkāmo nibbano); Dh 283 (nibbanā pl.) Vv 5014 (better reading nibbāna, in phrase “vanā nibbānaŋ āgataŋ,” as found at A iii.346= Th 1, 691, although the latter has nibbanaŋ in text),

Nibbāna : (see vāyati) refers only to the (non— ) emittance of an odour, which could never be used for a meaning of “being exhausted”; moreover, one has to bear in mind that native commentators themselves never thought of explaining nibbāna by anything like blowing (vāta), but always by nis+vana (see nibbana). For Bdhgh’s defn of nibbāna see e. g. Vism 293. — The meanings of n. are: 1. the going out of a lamp or fire (popular meaning). — 2. health, the sense of bodily well— being (probably, at first, the passing away of feverishness, restlessness).

Malachy was an Irish monk, who, on a visit to Rome was said to have had a vision of all the future popes. He catalogued each one with a descriptive Latin phrase and reportedly entrusted it to Pope Innocent II in 1140. There was little, if any, mention of the prophecies for the next 400 years. In 1590, a Benedictine monk “discovered” them and published them five years later. The reason that Malachy’s prophecies have re-flourished is that proponents claim Malachy indicated that the current Pontiff, Benedict XVI is the “next to last pope”. Adherents say the next pope will be known as Peter the Roman and his reign will end in massive tribulation.
