Tāḍāvacara (ताडावचर).—also (doubtless wrongly) spelled tāḍo- pacāra, m. and nt. (= Pali tāḷā°, wrongly defined in [Pali Text Society’s Pali-English Dictionary]; it means a musical instrument, as stated by commentary (596.15) on Dīghanikāya (Pali) ii.159.16 which glosses turiyabhaṇḍaṃ; Sanskrit tālāv° seems to mean a person, see [Boehtlingk and Roth], and Rām. 7.91.15, [Boehtlingk and Roth] 5.1469), a musical instrument in general or a particular class of them, probably of the cymbal type, compare tāḍa; almost always preceded by tūrya: sarvagīta- vādyanṛtya-tūrya-tāḍāvacara-saṃgīti-saṃpravāditaiḥ pūjā karaṇīyā Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 232.3 (prose); nearly this same [compound] Lalitavistara 82.5; tūryatāḍāvacaraiḥ satkriyate sma Lalitavistara 96.20; vādyan- tāṃ sumanojñatūryatāḍāvacarāṇi 118.9; sarvavāditehi sarvatūryatāḍāvacarehi bhagavantaṃ satkṛtya Mahāvastu iii. 138.7; sarvatūryatāḍ°rehi 179.2; °raḥ Mahāvyutpatti 5023 = Tibetan pheg rdob pa, variously defined as a small brass plate for music (a cymbal), or a kind of drum; tūrya-tāḍ° Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra 3.4—5; 16.1, 7; Daśabhūmikasūtra 85.31; (Ārya-)Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa 79.5; tūrya-tāḍ°ra-nirgho- ṣeṣu Gaṇḍavyūha 174.24; sarvatūryāṇi sarvatāḍāvacarān 219.22; spelied (almost certainly by error, yet compare upacāra with avacara) tāḍopacāra twice in Gaṇḍavyūha, -divya-tūrya-tāḍopa- cāra-saṃgīti- 119.4 and 147.7; in Samādhirājasūtra p. 20 line 2 printed °canaiḥ, read °raiḥ.

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.
