(OpapAduka, OpapAduka (°dika)
aupapāduka (°dika?)¦, or upapāduka, adj. (the two forms identical in mg. and both included below; list of occurrences of upapāduka s.v.; aupapādika only SP 408.12, where 2 mss. °duka; corresp. to Pali opapātika, Jain Skt. aupa°, AMg. uvavāia, °iya; der. from upapāda, q.v.; with Leumann, Aup.S.1; Weber I.St. 16.377, I believe BHS shows the etymologically historical form, from upa-pad, contrary to Childers, s.v., and Lévi JA. 1912 Pt. 2 p. 503; the counter-argument that upa-pad means to be born in the usual [rather, in any] way is inconclusive, since the passages cited below show that in BHS these words are definitely associated with upa-pad, see esp. SP 260.11--12; 408.12; Divy 300.17), born by spontaneous generation: often the fourth of 4 kinds of beings classified as to manner of birth, aṇḍajā(ḥ vā) jārāyujā(ḥ vā) saṃsvedajā(ḥ vā)aupa- pādukā(ḥ vā), SP 346.8; Mv i.211.16 = ii.15.15--16; ii.163.21; Sādh 26.7; or °upapādukā(ḥ vā) Mvy (2279--) 2282; Mv i.212.7 (v.l. aupa°); Dharmas 90 (n. sg. forms); also in cpd. -aṇḍaja-jarāyuja-saṃsvedajaupapāduka-Dbh 15.8; jarāyujāṇḍajasaṃsvedaja-upapāduka-sattva- Mmk 16.14; with omission of one member, aṇḍaja, saṃsvedaja, upapāduka, Gv 264.24; jarāyuja-saṃsvedajaupapādukā- nāṃ Divy 627.17; sometimes with addition of other terms, as rūpiṇo vārūpiṇo vā saṃjñino vāsaṃjñino vā etc. SP 346.8; Sādh 26.7, and similar additions in some others of the above; other occurrences: Divy 300.17 aupapādukāḥ sattvā ghaṭīyantraprayogena cyavamānā upapadyamānāś ca (falling and being reborn in the manner of a bucket- machine, sc. for raising water from a well) kartayvāḥ (as part of the pañcagaṇḍakaṃ, q.v., cakram); usually, as here, of human beings, esp. Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and cakravartins; they often appear sitting on lotuses, which may themselves be spontaneously generated, as in SP 260.11--12 yasmiṃś ca buddhakṣetra upapatsyate tasminn aupapāduke saptaratnamaye padma upapatsyate; SP 455.4 (vs; in 3 ‘there is no sexual intercourse’) upapāduka te jinorasāḥ padmagarbheṣu niṣaṇṇa nirmalāḥ; Śikṣ 175.8 te (bodhisattvāḥ) tatra nānāraṅgeṣu padmeṣūpapādukāḥ prādurbhavanti; contrasted with birth in the womb, Sukh 65.16 (anye garbhāvāsaṃ) prativasant, anye (sc. bodhi- sattvāḥ) punar aupapādukāḥ padmeṣu paryaṅkaiḥ prādur- bhavanti (also 66.6), some dwell in the dwelling of the womb (Müller. SBE 49, 2, p. 62 calyx!), others, spontaneously generated, appear sitting cross-legged on lotuses; similarly Mv i.145.4 (na khalu…) bodhisattvā mātāpitṛnirvṛttā bhavanti, atha khalu svaguṇanirvṛttyā (so with mss., by the creative power of their own virtues) upapādukā (v.l. aup°) bhavanti; in Mv i.153.6 ff. it is explained that Bodhisattvas, after rebirth in the Tuṣita heaven, do not engage in sex relations, and hence Siddhārtha was not Rāhula's father; Rāhula nevertheless entered (in some way not explained) the womb of Yaśodharā; but R. was not aupapāduka as cakravartins are, 153.16--154.3 (rājānaś cakravartinaḥ) aupapādukā babhūvu…cakravartigaṇāḥ [Page163-a+ 34] aupapādukā āsan, na tathā Rāhurabhadra iti; that cakra- vartins are aupa° (upa°) is also shown by Gv 254.12 (vs, of a cakravartin, having the 32 lakṣaṇa) upapāduko padumagarbhe; 268.26 cakravartī caturdvīpeśvaraḥ aupa- pādukaḥ padmagarbhe…; elsewhere however it is clear that one born from the womb may nevertheless be aup°, Gv 339.4 yayā (sc. Māyayā) sa upapādukaḥ kumāra (sc. the bodhisattva Śākyamuni) utsaṅge pratigṛhītaḥ; SP 408.12 (of a bodhisattva; rājño Vimaladattasya) gṛha upapanna aupapādika (2 mss. °duka) utsaṅge paryaṅkeṇa prādurbhūto 'bhūt; other statements about aup° (up°) are that anything they wish is instantly fulfilled, Av ii.95.11 (see s.v. upapāduka) yenopapādukaḥ saṃvṛttaḥ sa(ha)cittotpādāc cāsya yac cintayati yat prārthayate tat sarvaṃ samṛdhyatīti; they have the 32 lakṣaṇa, and other- wise marvelous bodies, SP 205.14 (vs) upapādukāḥ sarvi (sc. sattvāḥ) suvarṇavarṇā dvātriṃśatīlakṣaṇarūpadhāri- ṇaḥ; SP 202.5 te sattvā aupapādukā bhaviṣyanti… manomayair ātmabhāvaiḥ svayaṃprabhā(ḥ)…; such birth results from high moral attainments in the past, Divy 533.25 (striyo yāḥ pañcānām avarabhāgīyānāṃ) saṃyojanānāṃ (q.v.) prahāṇād upapādukāḥ; this word is suggested by the letter au in the young Bodhisattva's spelling lesson, LV 127.10 aukāre aupapāduka-śabdaḥ.
