Baddhamālā (बद्धमाला).—having a garland bound on, name of the 2d bodhisattva-bhūmi; so read for ed. °mānā Mahāvastu i.76.14. It is inconceivable that such a name as the mss. present should be applied to a bhūmi; and my em. is supported in sense by puṣpamaṇḍitā, name of the 3d bhūmi immediately following. This word cannot, therefore, be cited (with Renou, Etudes de gram. scte., 1936, p.18) as an example of -māna added to a ppp. (§ 34.1).
