(daSabala, daSabala)
daśabala¦, adj. (= Pali dasa°), possessing the ten bala, ep. and synonym of (any) Buddha, often used in the same way as tathāgata, jina, etc.: Mvy 25; (yo dadyā jambudvī- paṃ saptaratnasaṃcayaṃ) daśabalānāṃ Mv i.80.7, who gives…to the Buddhas: similarly 8; 116.2, etc.; in Divy 275.5, 7 daśabala Kāśyapa (as either two words or one) [Page263-a+ 71] refers to a monk in Śākyamuni's entourage (not to the former Buddha Kāśyapa, who acc. to PTSD and DPPN was ‘especially’ called daśabala, a statement for which I have found no evidence; in BHS, at any rate, daśabala applies equally to any and every Buddha); see s.v. Kāśyapa (2).
