prApta
-prāpta , ppp. (= Skt. id. , Pali -patta), in āścarya-, adbhuta-pr° generally means filled with astonishment and wonder ( e.g. SP 188.5 ). But in SP 183.4—5 āścaryaprāptā … adbhutaprāptā ime ṣoḍaśa śrāmaṇerāḥ, rather, something like arrived at a wonderful thing or condition, marvelously successful . In KP 9.5 and 10.5 dāntājāneya-prāpta (bodhisattva), and KP 9.14 ; 10.17, 20 ājanya-prāpta (bodhisattva), clearly arrived at (the condition of being …) i.e. become (tamed) noble ( steeds , see ājanya, ājāneya ). In most of these, Tib. renders prāpta by thob pa , which acc. to Jä. primarily means get, attain , but in expressions like saṅs rgyas thob pa become ( lit. get ) a Buddha . This latter seems clearly parallel to the use of -prāpta in these KP passages. Ordinarily a cpd. ending in -prāpta has as its prior member an abstract noun. Note however that some such prior members may be either abstract or concrete; thus adbhuta may mean either surprising or surprise . Possibly the KP usage arose by analogy of such compounds. There are other cpds. of prāpta with a preceding adj. ; see s.v. niṣkāṅkṣa .
