Pratītyotpāda (प्रतीत्योत्पाद) is synonymous to Pratītyasamutpāda—“dependent origination”, as occurring in the Anekāntajayapatākā-prakaraṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. II, P. 168, l. 8]—‘ Pratītyotpāda’ means same as pratītyasamutpāda. It is translated as “dependent origination” in the intro (p 82) of Systems of Buddhist Thought. It is here said to be another name of the “Twelve-linked Chain of causation”. The twelve links of this mighty chain are given on p 74. [...] In Śāstravārtāsamuccaya (v. 291) pratītyotpāda is refuted. Pratītyavṛtti-vighāta is mentioned in Visesā (v. 1678). Pratītyasamutpāda is explained and refuted in Nyāyakumudacandra (pt. I, pp. 390-395), a commentary on Laghīyastrayālaṅkāra (v. 8)
