(vibanDa, vibanDa)
vibandha¦, m., and vipratibandha, m. (= Pali vibandha, Pv. comm. 207.16, obstacle, not fetter with PTSD), hindrance, obstacle, obstruction (wrongly defined by Wogihara, Lex. 37; correctly LaV-P. on AbhidhK. vi.300, vibandha = obstacle); the two words have been noted (except as just stated) only in Bbh and are used there interchangeably: (129.16) bodhisattvaḥ dāna-vibandham api dāna-vibandha-pratipakṣam api (what is an obstacle to giving, and what counteracts that obstacle) yathābhūtaṃ prajānāti.(18) tatra catvāro dāna-vibandhāḥ (v.l. °viprati- bandhāḥ; they are described in detail)…(130.2) dāna- vipratibandha-pratipakṣaṃ niśṛtya (taking recourse to that which counteracts the obstacle…)…dadāti…(130.6) vighāta-kṛtaṃ dāna-vipratibandha-hetuṃ…(131.6) ca- turvidhasya dāna-vibandhasya caturvidhaṃ dāna-vipra- tibandha-pratipakṣa-jñānaṃ veditavyaṃ…(131.23) dāna- vipratibandha-pratipakṣa-jñānam upādāya; again, one of the 6 upāya (q.v.) of a bodhisattva is the vibandha- sthāyin (upāya), that acts as a block (misunderstood by Wogihara l.c.), Bbh 264.8, discussed 267.3 katamo bodhi- sattvasya vibandha-sthāyī (v.l. °stha) upāyaḥ? iha bodhi- sattvaḥ…(5) sattvānāṃ vipratibandhenāvatiṣṭhate (is in the position of a block, hindrance, to the natural, worldly behavior of creatures); the text then explains how the Bodhisattva bribes creatures to abandon their natural immorality and live morally by promising them the worldly enjoyments they crave, on that condition; in this passage vipratibandha is constantly used, 267.5, 14, 19, 24; 268.3, 6; but at the end, 268.11, vibandha-sthāyī (or rather in mss. °stha) upāyaḥ is used again, and in 268.9, just above, evaṃ vibandha-sthitasya bodhisattvasya; once more, Bbh 388.6 (aprāpteṣu caiṣu, sc. dhyānādiṣu, cf. lines 3--4) prāptaye vibandha-saṃkleśaḥ, the (sort of) impurity (one of two kinds) that, when they have not been attained, consists in an obstacle to their attainment.
