(mUla, mUla)
mūla, (1)¦ m. (in Skt. only nt.), root: mūlān bhak- ṣayato dhārayati (edible roots, for a horse) Divy 513.14, 23, holds roots for (the horse) as he eats; (2) nt. (Skt. id.) root = foundation; peculiar use in Divy 491.6, śakṣyasi tvaṃ…bhikṣūṇām upānahān mūlāc ca puñchitum (mss.), can you clean the monks' sandals thoroughly (from the ground up)? and 11, sa bhikṣūṇām upānahān mūlaṃ kramataś ca ponchate, he cleaned the monks' sandals thoroughly (lit., going to the very foundation?); (3) nt. (Skt. id.), root, be- ginning; in names of penances for monks, mūla-parivāsa (see parivāsa), probation starting over from the beginning because the original offense was repeated while parivāsa was in force (see antar-āpatti): Mvy 8650; MSV ii.207.15; iii.35.6 ff. (explained); mūla-pārivāsika, one undergoing this penance, MSV iii.37.15 etc.; mūlāpakarṣa-parivāsa, probation starting a second time from the beginning because the offense was repeated while mūla-parivāsa was in force (see praty-antarāpatti), Mvy 8651; MSV ii.207.15; this is abbreviated to mūlāpakarṣa, m., MSV iii.38.11 etc., 41.13; in Pali, instead of mūlaparivāsa and mūlāpakarṣa- (parivāsa), there seems to be a single category, samo- dhāna-parivāsa, often qualified by mūlāya paṭikassantā (Vin. ii.7.20) or the like (N. Dutt, MSV iii Introd. iv f. makes Pali mūlāya paṭikassanā and samodhāna-parivāsa separate penances corresp. to the above two in BHS, [Page437-a+ 71] but this seems hardly supported by Pali evidence; possibly Vin. ii.62.6--12 may imply it, but it is not very clear). There is also mention of mūla-mānāpya and mūlāpa- karṣa-mān°, which are analogous to mūla-parivāsa and mūlāpakarṣa-p°, except that acc. to MSV iii.77.2 and 5 the repeated faults are concealed (altho the fault leading to the original mānāpya was, of course, uncon- cealed, 76.20--21; otherwise parivāsa, not mānāpya, would have been the penalty); in a similar case iii.81.16 ff. the original and repeated faults are all unconcealed, leading to mūla-mānāpya 82.9 and mūlāpakarṣa-m° 83.2; (4) nt. (= Skt. Lex. and Pkt. id., Sheth; Skt. and Pali mūlaka), radish (Tib. la phug); Mvy 5767 bāla-mūlam, young radish, and 5768 mahā-m°, old radish; (5) m., n. of a former Buddha: Mv iii.236.10.
