(kOkftya, kOkftya)
kaukṛtya¦, nt. (Skt. Lex.; cf. prec.; = Pali kukkucca, of which or of a MIndic antecedent this is surely a Sktization), usually regret, remorse, worry, mental disturbance, ‘difficulties of conscience’ (SBE 13.51 for Pali kukkucca). This is the usual mg. in Pali; but sometimes the etymological mg., seemingly wickedness, evil deeds, must apparently be as- sumed (as in Jāt. i.119.29 hattha-kukkuccaṃ vā pāda- kukkuccaṃ vā). Cf. LaVallée Poussin, trnsl. of AbhidhK. ii.166: ‘le regret (kaukṛtya)…au propre…est la nature de ce qui est méfait (kukṛtabhāva); mais on entend par kaukṛtya un mental qui a pour objet (ālambana) le kau- kṛtya au sens propre, à savoir le regret (vipratisāra) relatif au méfait…Le kaukṛtya au sens propre est le point d'appui, la raison d'être du regret; donc le regret est nommé kaukṛtya’. In BHS this is the only certain mg. of the word: Mvy 1358; 1980; 5237 = Tib. ḥgyod pa, regret, remorse, in 5237 = vipratisāra; similarly Chin.; Prāt 504.9 bhikṣūṇāṃ kaukṛtyāya vilekhāya…; 518.3 bhikṣoḥ saṃcintya kaukṛtyam upasaṃharet, shall consciously cause disturbance of conscience (but see below) to a monk; Mvy 8487 kaukṛtyopasaṃhāraḥ, the causing of disturbance of conscience; KP 3.6 (vs) pareṣu kaukṛty' (= °tyam) upa- saṃharanti; SP 285.9, 11 kaukṛtyam upasaṃharati; 287.2 kaukṛtyasthānaṃ (here Tib. the tshom gnas, position of doubt, but better occasion for mental disturbance in another) ca na jātu kuryān, na lapsyase jñānam anutta- ra(ṃ) tvam; Mv iii.48.14 °tyam utpādetsuḥ; 173.9 cauro ahan ti tasya kaukṛtyam utpannaṃ; 173.19 mā kaukṛtyaṃ janehīti; Kv 80.5 (mā tvaṃ…) kaukṛtyam utpādayasi; Śikṣ 138.1 lajjābhiḥ kaukṛtyasaṃpannaiḥ paralokāva- dyabhayadarśibhir; LV 32.19 anupanāho…akaukṛtyāya saṃvartate,…leads to freedom from remorse; SP 71.4 bhikṣūṇāṃ kaukṛtyavinodanārthaṃ, yathā…niṣkāṅkṣā nirvicikitsā bhaveyuḥ (see below); Śikṣ 135.16 tena niṣ- kaukṛtyena bhūtvā nirvicikitsakena…; Bbh 83.14 kaukṛtyaprativinodana-paricaryā; 137.24 niṣkaukṛtyo bha- vati; 250.20 sva-kaukṛtye samutpanne…yā lajjā; one of a list of upakleśa, Dharmas 69, and elsewhere associated with such things as vyāpāda, styāna-middha, auddhatya, vicikitsā, Bbh 173.1; auddhatya-kau°, one of the 5 nī- varaṇa, q.v.; paryavasthāna (q.v.) or possession by, fixation in, these ‘depravities’ leads to misery and must be avoided, Bbh 145.10 f.; 223.14; 243.22; kaukṛtya- paryutthānam (= paryavasthānam) Śikṣ 178.14; simi- larly, dṛṣṭi-kaukṛtya-pratiṣthitasya KP 96.4, where Tib. renders as usual by ḥgyod, regret, remorse, which tends against interpretation of the word in this connection (as an upakleśa) etymologically, as state of wickedness; Śikṣ 191.7 a-kaukṛtya-tā, immediately followed by a-paryut- thāna-tā (cf. Śikṣ 178.14 above); Śikṣ 171.4 āpatti-kaukṛ- tya-sthānaṃ viśodhayituṃ, perhaps to wipe away any occasion for remorse due to sin (but Bendall and Rouse state of sin and wickedness, taking kaukṛtya etymologically; the Tib. is not cited); Laṅk 139.(13--)14, 15 (yasya kasyacid anyasyānantaryakāriṇaḥ) kaukṛtyaṃ, tasya kaukṛtya- dṛṣṭivinivartanārthaṃ nikṣiptadhurasya kaukṛtyadṛṣṭya- bhāvārtham (Suzuki wickedness; but remorse, troubles of mind or conscience would seem preferable); Sādh 17.11 kaukṛtyam ājīvamalaṃ ratiṃ saṃgaṇikāsu ca (here wickedness seems more likely than in any other passage, but even here the word may mean only something like mental perturbation; note association with vicikitsā, kāṅkṣā, above; Chinese translations sometimes are said to render kau° by doubt, e.g. acc. to Finot on Prāt 518.3; so perhaps understand SP 71.4, above).
