(viWapana, viWapana)
viṭhapana¦, nt., and °nā, once viṣṭhapana (n. act. in -ana to next), fixation, establishment, creation, making; esp. with implication of something illusory and fleeting: sarvadharmā viṭhapana-(so with Mironov)-pratyupasthāna- lakṣaṇāḥ Mvy 185, all states of being are characterized by involvement in (illusory) creation; °na-pratyupasthāna- lakṣaṇam Mvy 7233, Tib. rnam par bsgrub pa (this, or with bsgrubs, is the usual Tib. rendering); māyākṛtaṃ sarva- saṃskṛtaṃ °na-pratyupasthāna-lakṣaṇam Śikṣ 180.4 (here māyākṛtaṃ is decisive; Bendall and Rouse cite Tib. as rnam par bsgrabs pas, read bsgrubs); Gv 524.1 corrupt, eṣāṃ dharmāṇāṃ dharmatā, aviṣṭhapana-(read viṣṭh°, for viṭh°)-pratyupasthāna-lakṣaṇāḥ…sarvadharma-(read °mā with 2d ed.) bodhisattvajñānādhiṣṭhitāḥ, evaṃ sva- bhāvāpariṇiṣpannā māyāsvapnapratibhāsopamāḥ; (sattvā- nāṃ…) citta-māyā-°na-tāṃ Dbh 74.4, the fact that creatures are created by mental illusion (cf. māyopamaṃ cittam iyam ucyate cittadharmatā Śikṣ 236.2); but in Śikṣ 236.3 this implication is hardly to be found: yat punaḥ sarvasvaṃ parityajya sarvabuddhakṣetrapariśud- dhaye pariṇāmayatītīyam ucyate viṭhapanā (fem.); here, in a formal definition, the mg. seems to be firm fixation (Bendall and Rouse edification, which I do not find in it); at least no very clear suggestion of unreality seems found in the foll.: abhisaṃbodhivikurvita-°nena bodhisattva- samādhinā Gv 38.17--18; upāyakauśalya-°na-dharmatayā 469.18 (cf. however KP 32.1, 7, s.v. viṭhapayati); nt., °na, Gv 449.7, 15; f., °nā, 524.6; buddhakṣetra-°panālaṃ- kārābhinirhāratayā, or °nirhṛtatayā, or °nirhāraṃ, Dbh 39.14; 45.6; 55.17; same cpd. (°nirhāraṃ) with traidhātuka- instead of buddhakṣetra- 55.10--11, with rūpakāyalakṣa- ṇānuvyañjana- instead of id., 55.18--19; in this cpd. viṭhapanālaṃkāra is to be taken as a dvandva, establish- ment and adornment, as proved by reverse order in: vyūhālaṃkāra-viṭhapanā-prāptaś 62.11 (here f. °nā).
