(smftyupasTAna, smfty-upasTAna)
smṛty-upasthāna¦, nt. (= Pali satipaṭṭhāna, which, as Childers says, represents sati-(u)pa° by MIndic saṃdhi), application of mentality, of awareness (applications de mé- moire, LaV-P. AbhidhK. vi.153; see the foll. pages); Tib. dran pa (= smṛti) ñe bar bzhag pa (application); Chin. place or location of smṛti; normally there are (1) four such (same in Pali): listed Mvy 952--956 as kāya-, vedanā-, citta-, dharma-(conditions of existence)-smṛ°; so, with full discussion of each item, Śikṣ 228.9 ff. (the four terms 228.11; 232.6; 233.15; 236.5); the true nature of each term must be carefully reflected on; a fuller terminology, paralleled in Pali (kāyānupassanā- etc.), is kāye kāyānu- paśyanā-smṛ° Bbh 259.21 (cf. 25 evam avaśiṣṭāni smṛ° °nāni); so, with °nudarśa- (v.l. °nudarśī, n. sg. of °śin, showing confusion with the KP formula, below) instead of °nupaśyanā- Dharmas 44; a slightly different formula (cf. Pali e.g. DN ii.290.12 ff.), kāye kāyānupaśyī viharati na ca kāye kāyānupaśyanāyām ātmyadṛṣṭyāṃ patati KP 95.2, and similarly with the other three in ff.; these four are listed first among the 37 bodhipākṣika (q.v., or the like) dharma, Dharmas 43; LV 8.5; 181.17 (here at end of list of bodhipakṣa-dharma is erroneously added ārya- satya, but several mss. correctly omit satya); 426.7; Divy 208.7; not in such a list, Śikṣ 105.13; (2) also three, more exactly āveṇika (q.v.) smṛ° of a Buddha: trīṇy āveṇikāni smṛ° Mvy 187, listed 188--190 as śuśrūṣamāṇeṣu (aśuśrū°, śuśrūṣamāṇāśuśrū°) samacittatā, i.e. Buddha is neither elated nor depressed when his audience is responsive, unresponsive, or partly both, cf. Bbh 403.10 ff., 15; men- tioned but not listed Divy 182.20; Av i.7.5; and, without the word āveṇika, tribhiḥ smṛ° Divy 126.13 (that word is lacking also Bbh 403.10 ff.); smṛ° mentioned among āveṇika-buddha-dharma Bbh 230.14; (3) acc. to AbhidhK. LaV-P. vi.159 smṛ° is triple, svabhāva- (en soi; this is defined simply as = prajñā), saṃsarga- (par connexion), and ālambana- (en qualité d'objet); the two latter defined 160; this distinction I have not noted elsewhere.
