Entry 10800, Page 395, Col. 2

(Pala, Pala)
phala¦, nt. (1) (= Skt. and Pali phalaka) bark, bast (used for garments): phala-muñjāsana-valkala…LV 249.1 (prose); (2) (= Skt. and Pali id.) religious fruition or attainment, passim; prathama phala Mv i.174.12, 14; [Page396-a+ 71] 192.7, 8, = the first stage of religious advancement, cf. śrotāpattiphale i.175.1; five phalāni, sc. of karuṇā, com- passion, acc. to Sūtrāl. xvii.31 with comm., which explains all five, in different order: Mvy 2271-7, niṣyanda-, adhi- pati-, puruṣakāra-, vipāka-, visaṃyoga- phalam (see the various prior members). However, nothing is said of karuṇā in Mvy, and it probably intends them as different kinds of results of anything; so Bbh 102.16 ff. and AbhidhK. LaV-P. ii.287 ff., iv.185 ff. treat the same terms.
