Upalipta (उपलिप्त) (Cf. Anupalipta) refers to “(being) defiled” [?], according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “Then, the Lord went on to speak these verses: ‘(36) Like an illusion (māyā), body and life are impermanent (anitya). Enjoyment (bhoga) is just like a dream (svapna) and lightning (vidyut). Having generated compassion (karuṇā) in the whole world, they give a gift, being undefiled (anupalipta) by the worldly things (lokadharma). [...]’”.
