Iti kibbidhānakappe uṇādikappo chaṭṭho kaṇḍo.

Thus ends the uṇādi chapter, the sixth section of the kibbidhāna chapter.


Uṇādikappo niṭṭhito.

The uṇādi chapter is finished.


Kaccāyanapakaraṇaṃ niṭṭhitaṃ.

The Kaccāyana treatise is finished.55


  1. Malai (1997) gives the tradition’s own account of the name. The Suttaniddesa notes that no suffix uṇ occurs in the chapter — imasmiṃ hi kappe uṇapaccayo natthi; tasmā ṇānubandho'va ukārādipaccayo uṇapaccayo nāma, “the suffix u and the rest, with the marker ṇ bound to it, is alone what is called the uṇ suffix” — which is the gloss given above; and the Rūpasiddhi-ṭīkā adds that uṇādi is a parasamaññā, a term of the Sanskrit grammarians admitted by §9 (11): Parasamaññā payoge, as upadhā is at §629. Nandisena’s translation (2005) stops at §623 and has no view on this chapter; the notes below record Malai’s edition alone, with Senart’s edition, the manuscripts Malai cites and the Nyāsa as he reports them. ↩

  2. Senart’s vutti names the three as kiccattha-ktattha-khattha, attaching -attha to all three; Malai (1997) strips it from the first two, which “should be read as kicca and kta”, and keeps khattha. Both he and the tradition thus take khatthā as kha + atthā, as here; the CST’s kicca tta khattha needs no correction. ↩

  3. Senart’s edition reads bhavatā kattabbaṃ kammaṃ, “the work is to be done by you”, with no variant recorded, so that in Malai (1997) the sentence opens the kamma group beside bhottabbo odano and asitabbaṃ bhojanaṃ (compare §635’s kattabbaṃ kammaṃ bhavatā); the CST has kattabbaṃ bhavatā without an object, and the label bhāva in the table follows its text. ↩

  4. bhemo is the reading of the CST, of the Nyāsa and of T, B1 and S2, three of the four manuscripts Malai (1997) cites (T, B1, S1, S2: the sigla used in these notes); Senart’s edition, S1 and the Rūpasiddhi (652) read bhīmo, and Malai prints it. bhīmo is the form §628 gives bhī without vuddhi; bhemo, with the vuddhi that this sutta’s list predicts, is kept. ↩

  5. Senart’s edition prints the masculine sīmo, with T (sitabbo bandhitabbo ti sīmo), S1 and S2, and Malai (1997) follows it; B1 (kammavācāya bandhati etthā ti sīmā), the Rūpasiddhi (653) and the CST read the feminine. sīmā is the only form the canon has (saṅghena sīmā sammatā, Vin I 109, which Malai himself cites), and it stands. ↩

  6. CST4 prints Dabbasambhāra gaṇhātīti, leaving the object without its inflection; §628 glosses ratho with dabbasambhāre rahati gaṇhātīti, and the Padarūpasiddhi (569) glosses gehaṃ simply as gayhatīti. ↩

  7. The gloss maccharatīti maccharo, a finite verb with ti, yields the agent noun, “one who is stingy” — the maccharo of the compound vītamaccharo below — and T, one of the manuscripts Malai (1997) cites, keeps the two words apart: maccharāyatīti maccharo, the stingy man, and maccharayanaṃ macchero, stinginess (Malai: “one who is envious”, “envy”); B1, S2 and the CST gloss maccharo alone and add evaṃ macchero. The abstract is otherwise macchariyaṃ (§631). An earlier revision of this page gave both words the abstract sense. ↩

  8. alati samatthetīti allaṃ is the gloss of B1, S1, S2 and the CST; T reads sajjati etthāti allaṃ, “[something] sticks to it”, a gloss made for the ordinary sense “wet”, which Malai (1997) records and which is added to the table. ↩

  9. Senart’s vutti reads lako c'āgamo, which Malai (1997) renders “by the force of ca, laka is also augmented”; but mallako is malla + ka, only a k is added, and the CST’s lato ko ca āgamo, “the augment k after the la”, is the intelligible text, Senart’s lako a corruption of it. T, one of the manuscripts Malai cites, glosses the neuter as the action, aññamaññaṃ mathanaṃ viloṭhanaṃ mallaṃ, “churning one another: wrestling”, the sense added to the table. ↩

  10. CST4 prints Avassate tāva; the heading of the first group of examples is the seventh form of the sutta’s avassaka, Avassake, parallel to Adhamiṇe below. So B1, S1 and S2 (avassake tāva) in Malai (1997), who prints Avassake and likewise corrects the second heading to adhamiṇe. ↩

  11. Senart’s edition, with S1, S2 and T, ends the group with kāriyaṃ, kayyaṃ bhavatā vatthaṃ, “a cloth is to be made by you”, kayyaṃ being kara + ṇya in the yheyya-type shape of §544 (556): Vada mada gamu yuja garahākārādīhi jja mma gga yheyyā gāro vā; B1 and the CST read kāriyaṃ me bhavatā sayanaṃ, which Malai (1997) records as B1’s variant. Both are ṇya examples and nothing in the sense turns on the choice; the CST is kept. ↩

  12. Senart’s edition, with S1, S2 and T, reads the adjective sakko bhavaṃ hantuṃ, “you, sir, are able to strike”, agreeing with bhavaṃ as arahā and bhabbo do in the neighbouring sentences, and Malai (1997) prints it; B1 and the CST have the uninflected sakkā, which would strictly want bhavatā. The sutta’s sakka covers both, and the CST is kept. Senart’s jetuṃ, jinituṃ, from ji (“conquer”), stand where B1 and T have janituṃ, and Malai corrects Senart’s bharituṃ to the bhavituṃ read here. ↩

  13. CST4 prints tabbo bhavaṃ janetuṃ; the vutti’s list of words runs araha sakka bhabba, and the last example is the one with bhabba, so bhabbo is read. So Senart’s edition and Malai (1997), who print bhabbo. ↩

  14. CST4 omits abhiesanaṃ abhijjhā; Senart’s edition and all four manuscripts Malai (1997) cites have it after sajjā (B1 with abhicchā for the word), and it is restored here: abhi + isu, formed exactly like icchā and aticchā beside it, and common in the canon (abhijjhā domanassaṃ). Its absence from the CST is a dropped line. ↩

  15. pacchā is the reading of B1 and the CST; Senart’s edition, S1, S2, T and the Nyāsa read pajjhā — pada + ṇya with jjh, as vajjhā above (compare pajjhāyati) — and Malai (1997) prints it, T glossing byāpajjanaṃ, “being afflicted”, B1, S1 and S2 padanaṃ. A feminine action noun sits more easily in this list than the adverb, but the CST’s reading is kept. ↩

  16. CST4 prints titicchā, a form no witness has, perhaps under the influence of titikkhā two lines on; B1, S1 and S2 read tikicchā, the canonical word (kā tikicchā, Ja V 215), Senart’s edition, T and the Nyāsa cikicchā, which Malai (1997) prints. The gloss tikicchanaṃ settles the reading tikicchā. ↩

  17. CST4 prints radihabbāti racchā; the gloss is the participle of necessity of rada, raditabbā, “to be scraped”, matching the vajitabbā, caritabbā of the same list. ↩

  18. CST4 prints abhivitvā; B1 and T, in Malai (1997), read abhibhavitvā bhavatīti abhibhū, the shape the sense requires, and it is read here. ↩

  19. Senart’s edition has two words the CST lacks, and Malai (1997) prints both: uddhū after sandhū (S1, S2, T; B1 omits), glossed by T uddhaṃbhāge dhunāti kampetīti uddhū, “it shakes in the upper part” — u + dhu, the kvi counterpart of §638’s uddhaccaṃ — and urago after bhujago (Senart, S1, S2 and the Nyāsa; B1 and T omit), the word the Niddesa passage above glosses. The CST follows B1 in both omissions. ↩

  20. CST4 prints a sa, one root asa split in two; Senart’s edition and Malai (1997) read asa-samu, with no root sa between them, and no example in any of the lists comes from one (asano, asako are from asa, samaṇo, samako from samu). An earlier revision of this page counted a root sa. ↩

  21. CST4 prints lavaṇaṃ; the agent and action lists have lavano, lavanaṃ, and lū is not a root that takes ṇ. ↩

  22. CST4 prints bhaganaṃ; the parallel lists have bhavano, bhavanaṃ, from bhū. ↩

  23. CST4 prints savaṇaṃ a second time at the end of the instrument list; the other two lists end with samaṇo, samaṇaṃ, from samu, and savaṇaṃ already stands fourth. ↩

  24. CST4 prints sūdadhakā; the word is sūdako, the ṇvu counterpart of sūdano. ↩

  25. Malai (1997) reads the sutta’s esa as one pronoun and counts six first members; the glosses B1 and T carry — etam iva naṃ passatīti ediso, samānam iva naṃ passatīti sādiso — make two of it, e for eta and sa for samāna, as here, since esa would give one word and not both. Malai also reports the Nyāsa’s confirmation of the ca paragraph as B1 and the CST have it, seven long forms and four short, which this page follows. ↩

  26. CST4 prints mati. Budhi pūjādito ca, a full stop splitting the list of three classes; the Padarūpasiddhi (635) reads mati budhi pūjādīhi ca. ↩

  27. Malai (1997) renders davo “playing” and davathu “caused by that”; but davathu is the fever, the burning, and the dava of the gloss is “heat, forest fire”, not its homonym dava “sport”. The sense given here is the one the derivative has. ↩

  28. The glosses vary in the manuscripts Malai (1997) cites. S2 gives kāru all three tenses, akāsi karoti karissatīti kāru (as T does under §624, karoti akāsi karissatīti kāru), letting the word cover the future as well, against the sutta’s vattamānātīte; the two-tense gloss of the CST and the sutta’s own wording stand. B1, S1 and T gloss vāyu from vā “blow”, avāyi vāyatīti vāyu, the more natural etymology, where the CST has agacchi, gacchatīti (S2 adds gacchissatīti). ↩

  29. Senart’s edition, T, S1 and S2 read passāvī and paṭṭhāyī with a long ī, and Malai (1997) prints them so; the Rūpasiddhi (647) gives both, passāvī, passāvi, so that the tradition read the suffix either as ī or as i. The derivation above is that of the short form the CST prints. The Saddanīti reads dassāvī, from disa. ↩

  30. CST4 prints passāpituṃ; the Rūpasiddhi reads passavituṃ, the infinitive of the root su (“flow”) that the sutta names. So S2 (passavituṃ) and, with a long vowel, B1 (passāvituṃ) in Malai (1997). ↩

  31. CST4 prints ethenāti. ↩

  32. T, one of the manuscripts Malai (1997) cites, adds sotaṃ, sotraṃ, “the ear”, after sutraṃ, from su in the sense of hearing (savane); the Nyāsa knows the reading (sotranti pi pāṭho) and takes the vuddhi o as a special case under §483 (527): Asaṃyogantassa vuddhi kārite. That is why the root is glossed “flow; hear” above. ↩

  33. CST4 prints tantra. ↩

  34. Senart’s edition, S1 and S2 read yantaṃ, yantraṃ; B1, T and the CST yattaṃ, yatraṃ. The root in the list is yata and the gloss is yatati, so yattaṃ is the vutti’s word, as Malai (1997) himself notes; the Rūpasiddhi (666) has both pairs from different roots, yattaṃ, yatraṃ from yata and yantaṃ, yantraṃ, “machine”, the commoner word, from yamu. ↩

  35. CST4 prints uda; Senart’s edition and Malai (1997) read udi, with no variant, and the vutti’s own gloss requires it: the nasal of undati and of samuddo comes from the marker i, as in indo, cando, and §670 cites the same root as udi (undūro). T glosses the word more plainly, saṃ suṭṭhu udanti pasavanti etthāti samuddo, “in which [the rivers] flow well”. ↩

  36. Senart’s edition, S1, S2 and the Rūpasiddhi (673) read ghaṇṭo and vaṇṭo, from the roots ghaṭi (“strike”: ghaṭi ghaṭṭane) and vaṭi (“turn”: vaṭi āvattane), and Malai (1997) prints them; B1, T and the CST have ghaṇḍo, vaṇḍo from ghaḍi, vaḍi. The canon’s words are ghaṇṭā, ghaṇṭi and vaṇṭa, with the meanings given here, and ghaṇḍa, vaṇḍa are not attested; the CST’s spelling and roots are kept as those of the base text. ↩

  37. CST4 prints caḍaṃ; the Rūpasiddhi reads caḍi, the root of caṇḍālo (compare caḍi in §663). ↩

  38. Malai (1997) takes paṭe as the seventh form of the noun paṭa, “cloth” — “that is enough for the garment” — as the vutti’s other glosses take their first members as things (kale, mekhe kaṭivicitte, vakke rukkhatace, palle ninnaṭṭhāne); the root paṭa “spread” gives the sense placed first above. For a membrane both are defensible, and the table gives both. ↩

  39. CST4 prints pathavī, pathavī vā, the word doubled. B1, one of the manuscripts Malai (1997) cites, reads puthu hutvā jātāti pathavī, paṭhavī vā, T pathavī vā and Senart’s edition paṭhavī vā for the second word: the dental–retroflex doublet met in pathamo/paṭhamo, which the Nyāsa remarks on (tha may become ṭha: pathamo or paṭhamo, pathavī or paṭhavī). pathavī, paṭhavī vā is read. An earlier revision of this page emended the first word to puthuvī, the form the replacement puthu would yield; but the gloss puthu hutvā jātaṃ is the etymology of pathavī itself and does not call for it. ↩

  40. CST4 prints bhāvatīti, which is no form; B1, in Malai (1997), reads bhavatīti (with bhojanaṃ for bhājanaṃ, its own slip: “vessel” is right), and bhavatīti is read. ↩

  41. An earlier revision of this page called the canon’s sattu “barley-meal” only; Malai (1997) cites the Sambulājātaka line quoted above for sattu, “enemy”. ↩

  42. The CST’s vutti section and the Rūpasiddhi (678) print Jhādīhi īvaro, and an earlier revision of this page kept that reading in the heading while arguing for Cyādīhi; the CST’s own sutta list and Senart’s edition, with no manuscript variant recorded, read Cyādīhi īvaro (Malai 1997, who also corrects the vutti’s cī to ci), and the heading now follows them. ↩

  43. CST4 prints vibhāvaṃ; B1, in Malai (1997), reads vibhavaṃ, “wealth”, the word that bhogakkhandhaṃ glosses (vibhāva would be something else), and it is read here. ↩

  44. B1 and T, in Malai (1997), gloss kusati akkosatīti kurūro, with the root kusa, “abuse”, that the root lists give for akkosa; the CST reads kurati and lists the root as kura, Senart’s edition as khura. If kusati is the original gloss, the r of kurūro is one of the changes §517 allows and kura a normalisation made from the word; the CST is kept. ↩

  45. CST4 prints ve ve dhā; Senart’s edition, with B1, S1 and S2, reads ve dhe dhā (Senart himself vi for ve), and B1 and T open the gloss of dhenu with the verb, dheti vacchaṃ pāyetīti dhenu (Malai 1997). The doubled ve is the CST’s error, not a gap in the tradition, and dhe (“drink”) is read. ↩

  46. CST4 prints ku; the sutta and the Rūpasiddhi read tu. So Senart’s edition and Malai (1997). ↩

  47. CST4 prints janetītī, and likewise gacchatītī, bhavatītī, pāyetītī, dhāretītī (twice), sīyatī bandhīyatītī and pavattatītī (twice), with a final ī for i; all are corrected here. ↩

  48. CST4 prints bhāṇu dibbatīti bhāṇu; the first word is read as bhāti, the verb of the root bhā that the gloss needs (the Rūpasiddhi: bhātīti bhāṇu). So B1 and T (bhāti dibbatīti) in Malai (1997). ↩

  49. CST4 prints hotī, and in the examples chindatītī and pūretabbotī, with a final ī for i. ↩

  50. Senart’s edition, followed by Malai (1997), divides ku su into two roots where the CST has kusu, and T and S2 add siri after su. Read so, ku (“despise”, kucchitabbaṃ) gives karīsaṃ, su gives suriso and sūriyo — the Nyāsa (478) derives suriyo from one of five roots su (“hurt”, “flow”, “go”, “hear”, “release the foetus”) — and siri gives sirīso, so that none of the three words needs nipātana or a root sura. The CST’s kusu and the derivations given here are kept, the alternative being noted. ↩

  51. CST4 prints usa; the sutta and the Rūpasiddhi read ussa, the suffix that gives manusso its ss. ↩

  52. CST4 prints mānusso here and in the next gloss; the first gloss and the Rūpasiddhi read mānuso, the form the suffix nusa yields. ↩

  53. So B1 and the CST; T, in Malai (1997), reads abbhaṃ vimocetīti suriso, “it clears away the cloud”, the etymology that suits the sun, of which gabbhaṃ is an easy corruption — though the Nyāsa’s fifth sense of su, pāṇagabbhavimocane, “releasing the foetus”, shows how B1’s reading was understood. Malai judges B1’s reading incorrect. ↩

  54. CST4 prints illigho; B1, in Malai (1997), reads illiso in both glosses, T and Senart’s edition iliso, and the Nyāsa (478) explains the one word from either of two roots ila, “tremble” and “be weak” (ila kampane, ila dubbale ti dvinnam aññatarassa rūpaṃ), which is what the second gloss, taṇhāya dubbalo, draws on. illigho is a corruption, and illiso is read; an earlier revision of this page kept it as a variant. ↩

  55. Senart’s edition closes with a verse after the colophon, Yāni sippāni lokasmiṃ aṇuṃthūlāni vijjare, tāni sabbāni sippāni sayaṃsijjhā bhavantu me, “whatever arts there are in the world, small and great, may they all be accomplished of themselves for me” (Malai 1997, who cites no manuscript for it) — a copyist’s wish rather than Kaccāyana’s text, and not in the CST. ↩
