(upaDi, upaDi)
upadhi¦ (m.; = Pali upadhi, and also Pali upādi), (1) substratum of continued existence; attachment, bond uniting one to existence. Acc. to Childers upādi means the khandhas alone, while upadhi includes also kilesa (with which PTSD makes it ‘almost synonymous’), kāma, and kamma; but acc. to PTSD upadhi is sometimes equated with the pañca-kkhandhā. In Pali, upādi is, acc. to PTSD, used only in comp. with -sesa, in cpds. usually beginning sa- or an- and regularly epithets of nibbāna (-dhātu); these are represented in BHS by anupadhiśeṣa, nirupa°, sopa°, qq.v. But BHS also has upadhi and nir-up° (m.c. niropadhi) = Pali (nir-) upadhi.The passages here listed belong exclusively to this latter class, = Pali upadhi. (But it seems that even in Pali, upadhi and upādi are not always clearly distinguished.) upadhī-kṣīṇā LV 358.18 (vs); sarvopadhi-pratiniḥsarga the getting rid of all up° LV 31.21; Mv ii.285.20; iii.314.4; sarvopadhi-niḥsarga (Bhvr., with dharma) LV 392.11; 395.21; sarvopadhikṣaya- Mv i.115.8; cf. ii.418.10 upadhi (mss., Senart em. °dhiṃ) pratītya duḥkhasya saṃbhavo sarvaśopadhikṣayato (mss., Senart em. sarvopa°)…nāsti duḥkhasya saṃbhavo; Mv iii.282.6 upadhi-saṃkṣaye; Divy 224.20 śalyam upa- dhiṃ viditvā; Ud ii.20 upadhiṃ hi loke śalyam iti matvā, l'attachement…c'est la misère… Others s.v. niropadhi. In Mvy 6499 upadhi has three Tib. definitions; the first, phuṅ po, regularly = skandha (as Pali upādi = khandha); the third, ñon moṅs pa, regularly = kleśa (as Pali upadhi, ‘almost syn. with kilesa,’ PTSD); while the second, rdzas, thing, substance, matter, belongs to a meaning of the word app. unknown to Pali, viz. (2) material thing, ‘chose maté- rielle’ (Lévi, = Tib. dṅos, which also = Skt. vastu), Sūtrāl. xvii.3 (n. 1 in Transl.); see also LaVallée Poussin, AbhidhK. iv.15 with n. 1: ‘Par upadhi, il faut entendre la chose (ārāma, vihāra, etc.) donnée à un moine ou au Saṃgha: le mérite qui procède (tadbhava) de cet upadhi s'appelle [Page136-a+ 71] aupadhika’ (q.v.). Hence, (3) in Divy 50.28 bhagavān upadhau vartate, the Lord was acting in regard to material things (of the assembly of monks), i.e. in the function of an upadhi-vārika, q.v. (= aupadhike Divy 542.17). (See also s.v. plotikā.)
