Aupapāduka (औपपादुक) or Upapāduka.—q.v.; used in exactly the same ways, often in the same texts which elsewhere use aup°, and by me grouped under the occurrences of that form; note especially Avadāna-śataka ii.89.1 aupapādukaḥ as title of the story, but in the text itself always upa°, ii.94.17 ff.; other occurrences of upa° are Mahāvyutpatti 2282; Mahāvastu i.212.7; Dharmasaṃgraha 90; (Ārya-)Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa 16.14; Gaṇḍavyūha 254.12; 264.24; 339.4; Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 205.14; 455.4; Mahāvastu i.145.4; Divyāvadāna 533.25; Śikṣāsamuccaya 175.8. In some the v.l. aupa° is recorded.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
