anizWApada
aniṣṭhā-pada , apparently intended at Laṅk 180.17 (text anadhiṣṭhāpada) and 227.4 (text aṣṭāpada); Tib. thug pa med paḥi gnas . Suzuki transl. inexhaustible vows ; rather, unlimited terms ; S. uses the same transl. for niṣṭhā-pada , q.v. It seems, indeed, that these two formally opposite expressions, unlimited term and fundamental term , are virtual synonyms. Cf. Dbh 17.9 , where each of the 10 niṣṭhā is specifically said to be aniṣṭhā (the trick seems to lie in different uses of niṣṭhā: the fundament, basis is said to be without end or limit, end being also a mg. of niṣṭhā).
