boDa · masculine
1 bodha , m. (? = bodhi, normally f. in BHS as in Pali ; but Pali records also bodha, m. , and Skt. bodha is used not very differently), ( 1 ) = bodhi , enlightenment , in the technical Buddhist sense; so far as noted, seems limited in BHS to the forms bodhāya and (rarely, prob. only in Mv ) bodhāye, which are usually interpretable as datives: bodhāye Mv i.47.16 ; 60.11 (so mss. indicate); ii.130.18 (in prec. line bodhāya, but v.l. °ye, in same phrase); Senart , whose note i.369 on i.3.2 discusses both the forms, calls bodhāye fem. , but such datives are recorded from indisputably m. - nt. stems, § 8.45 ; more tempting to the fem. interpretation is the occasional, tho rare, occurrence of bodhāya (in vss ) where dat. syntax seems hard to accept; so gen. , to sarvi bodhāya ( mss. ) abhūṣi lābhinaḥ SP 49.14 ( vs ), repeated often in the sequel, as 50.2 etc. ; in 50.12 and 51.4 bodhāya is confirmed by citations Śikṣ 92.13 ; 93.5 ; bodhāya … varṇam SP 10.6 ( vs ) = 12.16 ; loc. , bodhāya sthāpitāḥ SP 306.3 ( vs ); it is possible that the fem. gender of bodhi (in Pali and BHS ) has led to some forms suggesting a stem bodhā (oblique °āya, °āye), but bodhāya is usually dat. , and occurs often in prose; KN ed. of SP often keeps it but as often emends to bodhīya, with utter inconsistency; dat. occurrences of bodhāya, SP (in mss. ) 14.2 ; 33.1 ; 46.10 ; 47.13 ; 303.12 ; 334.11 ; LV 209.9 (prose); 284.8 ; Mv i.46.1 ; 63.2, 11 ; 97.2 ; 234.5 ; ii.130.13, 17 ; Suv 42.6 ; Śikṣ 5.18 ; KP 20.9 ; Gv 105.15 (prose); Bbh 13.19 (prose), etc. ; ( 2 ) n. of a householder: Divy 167.2 ff. ; he lived in Śiśumāragiri; cf. Pali Bodhi ( DPPN ), a prince whose capital was Suṃsumāragiri; but the two stories seem quite unrelated otherwise.
[ 2 bodha , m. (or nt. ), read prob. godha , q.v. : KP 111.6 . Cf. however Pali palibodha, which is interpreted, with support in Aśokan id. , as meaning fetters , by Lüders SBAW 1914.841 . Cf. also Thomas, JRAS 1915.103 ff. ]
