(yaTApi, yaTApi)
yathāpi, (1)¦ (in this sense unparalleled so far as I know) alone, or esp. followed by idam (yathāpīdam), also by tat, and rarely by nāma, because of course, because obviously, in giving a (more or less evident) reason for what has just been said: tat kasya hetoh? yathāpīdam bāla- bhāvatvāt SP 73.11, and why? because, you see, of the fact that they were (foolish) children; in same context, yathāpi bālā(ḥ) SP 86.6 (vs); yathāpi…(without idaṃ or the like) 90.4 (vs); yathāpi (so Kashgar rec.; Nep. tathāpi; WT em. tathā hi, perh. supported by Tib. ḥdi ltar) buddhena adhiṣṭhitatvāt 238.2 (vs), since, of course, they are inspired by the Buddha; yathāpīdaṃ, in this same mg., SP 38.14; 110.10; 210.2; (tat kasya) hetoḥ? yathāpīdaṃ sukhasthānasthitatvāt 283.2; yathāpīdaṃ rūkṣapradhā- naṃ prahitātmanaḥ LV 255.3, of course because (there was) harsh exertion; similarly, yathāpīdaṃ adṛṣṭapūrvaṃ dṛśyate Mv iii.210.18, of course because a previously unseen thing was seen; yathāpīdaṃ anuttare upadhisaṃkṣaye samyaksuvimuktacitto Mv iii.282.6, because, of course, he had his mind…; repeated 12; 283.2; and, only in 283.8, otherwise same phrase and situation, sayyathāpīdaṃ, which is an otherwise unknown use of the form sayyathāpi, see under 2 below; in the same mg., more rarely, with nāma for idam: tat kasya hetoḥ? yathāpi nāma vayaṃ tathāgatasya bhūtāḥ putrā(ḥ) SP 110.4; yathāpi nāma… [Page443-a+ 71] Śikṣ 40.12; also with tat for idaṃ (or nāma): yathāpi tac cittavaśavartitvād LV 244.22, of course because he was in control of his thoughts; yathāpi tat (mss.; ed. wrongly em. tataḥ) sphuṭo Māreṇa pāpīyasā (referring back to same words in lines 21--22) Divy 201.23, of course (you see) because…; yathāpi tad 230.16; MSV i.51.21; also read in LV 256.6, with v.l. incl. best ms. A, (śubhavar- ṇatanutā) sāpy antaradhād, yathāpi (Lefm. tad yathāpi, but this tad should surely not be in the text) tad rūkṣapra- dhāna-prahitātmakatvāt (cf. above, LV 255.3); (2) tad yathāpi nāma, and (only Mv) sayyathāpi nāma (very rarely the word nāma is omitted, Mv ii.124.12, in a clause of comparison ending bhavati); mss. of Mv also tayyathā°, sadyathā°; saṃyadhāpi nāma (! cf. saṃyathīdaṃ) balavān puruṣaḥ…bāhuṃ prasārayet Mmk 3.25 (= Pali seyyathāpi, with or without nāma, very rarely sayathāpi, Therag. 412; = Skt. tad yathā, also in Pali as taṃ yathā; note Mv i.55.13 and 56.8 tad yathā, repeating 54.13 tad yathāpi nāma, balavān puruṣaḥ…, same clause as in Mmk 3.25 above, a cliché in which Mv elsewhere has sayyathāpi nāma), just as (followed by nominal phrase or verbal clause), or just as if (followed by hypothetical clause, or series of clauses, or, esp. in SP, by an entire long parable, which may fill most of a chapter): sayyathāpi (so Senart but mss. tayyathā° or tad yathā°) nāma kalam- bukā (just like k's), evaṃ varṇapratibhāsāpi abhū Mv i.341.5; in 7 below Senart with mss. tad yathāpi nāma kṣudraṃ madhum anelakaṃ (or °ḍakaṃ, mss.), evam- āsvādā; tad yathāpi nāma…etāni buddhakṣetrāṇi saṃdṛśyante SP 20.10, just as these b° appear; tad yathāpi nāma…udumbarapuṣpaṃ kadācit karhicit saṃdṛśyate, evaṃ…SP 39.8, just as an ud° fruit rarely appears, so…; introducing rather long parables, SP 101.11; 121.11, etc.; the range of usage is sufficiently indicated by these quota- tions; tad yathāpi nāma very often, e.g. LV 246.17; 247.17; 251.9, 17; Mv i.194.13; 341.7; iii.229.3; 425.15, 21 (and in mss. as v.l. for sayyathā°, below); both in one sentence, (imasmiṃ ca pṛthivīyaṃ unmajjana-nimajjanaṃ karoti) sayyathāpi nāma udake pi abhidyamāno (mss. °nā) gacchati, tad yathāpi nāma pṛthivīyaṃ Mv iii.410.2, (he plunges up and down in this earth,) just as if he were going in water unbroken, just as if on land (awkwardly expressed, but the mg. is certain in my opinion); tad yathāpi nāma, also Sukh 19.16 et al.; Śikṣ 21.17 et al.; Gv 20.1 et al.; Dbh 7.23; RP 40.1; in RP 40.20 and 42.1 read tad (for text syād) yathāpi nāma; sayyathāpi nāma, only Mv, often with vv.ll. tad ya° (not here recorded) and others, i.339.8 (twice); 340.12, 13, 15; 345.12; ii.121.7; 124.5; 125.3, 12, 13, 16, etc.; ii.270.3 ff.
