(upakAraRa, upakAraRa)
? upakāraṇa¦ (cf. AMg. uvagāraṇa = Skt. upakāra? or for Skt. and Pali upakaraṇa?), in Mmk 48.10 evaṃ laḍḍukāgarbhoktārakaviśeṣān (? seems corrupt) pūpopa- kāraṇān sarvadevabhūtagaṇān sarvasattvāṃś ca mantrope- tān vidhinā niryātayet. We seem to need dat. instead of acc. forms for °gaṇān and °sattvāmś (as in the following parallel sentence); with that change, pūpopakāraṇān might mean benefactions consisting of cakes, or instruments (cf. upakaraṇa) of (making) cakes; or, with a mg. character- istic of upakaraṇa in Pali rather than Skt., commodities consisting of cakes; or finally, if = BHS upakaraṇa in Bbh 246.24 (see s.v.), food consisting of cakes.
