(utpAda, utpAda)
utpāda¦, m. (Skt. id., production etc.; so in cittotpāda, q.v.), (1) in bodhisattvotpāda, Kashgar rec. for bodhi- sattvāvavāda, SP 65.1 et alibi, see avavāda (of which this seems to be a secondary distortion); (2) (= Pali uppāda, for Skt. utpāta), portent, omen: Mv iii.386.10 °deṣu vidyāyukto (of a brahman purohita); prob. in this mg. utpāda-gaṇḍa-piṭakāni MSV ii.82.17, (bad) omens. [Page126-a+ 71] boils and abscesses, or boils and abscesses due to the (above- described) omens; but Tib., if I understand it, fails to interpret the word. Senart, Mv ii.549, note on ii.279.20, assumes this mg. also in pūrvotpāda-saṃpanno bodhisattvo, which however seems to me to mean simply perfect in (or, as a result of) previous births; so agrotpāda-saṃpanno ii.279.21; and cf. ii.259.12 ff., also of bodhisattvas, pūrvot- pāda-saṃpanno…kalyāṇotpāda° agrotpāda° jyeṣṭhot- pāda° śreṣṭhotpāda° praṇidhi-pūrvotpāda°; a very similar list ii.291.12 ff. If I am right, utpāda here has its normal Skt. mg; (3) calamity (due to bad omens; development of 2): °dam āpadyeyur MPS 31.63 (otherwise Waldschmidt).
