andhakārāpita-tva (1187)

andhakārāpita-tva
Entry 1187, Page 40, Col. 2

(anDakArApitatva, anDakArApita-tva)
andhakārāpita-tva¦, nt. (abstr. from caus. pple. to denom. verb from andhakāra, darkness), state of being darkened; so (or, possibly, andhakārāyita-tva, from non- caus. denom. pple.) I would read at Mv i.41.5; 229.20; 240.9; ii.162.9; iii.334.7; 341.12. The mss. are corrupt in the entire passage (see lokāntarikā) and particularly at this point; Senart reads °kārārpitā, but there is no support for the -r- in the mss. The Mv seems to have read an- dhakārā andhakārāpitatvā (? °yitatvā), tamisrā tamisrā- yitatvā (q.v.), darknesses, darkenednesses, glooms, begloomed- nesses. Only Mv has the second member of each pair (the derivatives of denom. pples.); the other parallel passages point to something like andhakārā andhakāratamisrāḥ, q.v.
