ādi , beginning (= Skt. ): ādiṃ , acc. (= Pali ādiṃ katvā, with acc. object) and ādau, loc. , with following kṛtvā, and preceding acc. (once gen. ), lit. putting … first ; so beginning with, starting with, from … on (the loc. ādau used precisely like the acc. ādiṃ; putting at the beginning = making the beginning ; loc. only in Mv ): tuṣitabhavanavāsam ādiṃ kṛtvā, beginning with (the Bodhisattvaʼs) dwelling in the Tuṣita-heaven (= from then on) Śikṣ 292.5 = Dbh 14.21 , cf. tuṣitabhavanam ādau kṛtvā sarveṣāṃ bodhisattvānāṃ … Mv i.147.15 ; āvīcim ādiṃ kṛtvā sarvanairayikāṇāṃ sattvānāṃ … LV 86.11 , of all hell-inhabitants [Page093-b] from Āvīci on ; mātuḥ kukṣim ādau kṛtvā bodhisattvānāṃ yāvat parinirvṛtā Mv i.145.2 , beginning with the motherʼs womb, of Bodhisattvas, until they have entered complete nirvāṇa ; bhartāraṃ ādau kṛtvā Mv i.147.8 (no man has any carnal desire for the destined mothers of Buddhas) from their husbands on ; bodhisattvasya garbhāvakrāntim ādau kṛtvā Mv i.157.15 ; śākyamuniṃ samyaksaṃbuddhaṃ ādau kṛtvā ḍaśa bhūmayo deśitā Mv i.161.7 , beginning from (the time of) Śākyamuni the Buddha, the Ten Stages have been taught (not before! so, I think, the parallels require us to interpret, contrary to Senart n. 506 ); with gen. of the dependent noun (rather than acc. ), evidently construed as modifier of ādiṃ: tṛṣṇāyāḥ paunarbhavikyā ādiṃ kṛtvā Laṅk 180.10 , beginning with ( starting from ; lit. making a beginning of ) desire for rebirth . Cf. Mbh. Crit. ed. 2.52.17d saha strībhir draupadīm ādi-kṛtvā, along with the women, beginning with Draupadī ( i.e. D. and the others ). This seems to be unparalleled in Skt.
