cari 1.1 · cari 1.2 · cari 2.1
cari , or carī (ī chiefly or wholly m.c. ), f. (not recorded in MIndic ; = Skt. caryā , Pali cariyā , both also in BHS , see s.vv. ; cf. § 3.115 ), course of conduct, regular system of action ( esp. religious ); particularly with reference to the programmatic course of a Bodhisattva, leading to enlightenment; (on its four aspects or stages see s.v. caryā ;) these forms chiefly, but not exclusively, in verse; see also cāri, cārikā ; in prose the usual expression is (Bodhisattva-)caryā, e.g. SP 7.1 ; 65.5 ; LV 90.10 ; Gv 58.9 ; but even in prose note (bo)dhisattva-cari-niṣpanda- LV 5.1 (all mss. , only Calc. °carita°), and cf. Bhadracari-vidhipūrvakaṃ Śikṣ 139.13 (prose; the bhadra-cari is the bodhisattva-cari; the work of this name is elsewhere called Bhadra-caryā in the prose of Śikṣ , 290.8 ; 291.9 ; 297.1 ); in Bhad itself the form is Bhadracari wherever meter does not require ī, as in the cpd. °cari-praṇidhāna 2, 49, 54, 61, where in the seam of the cpd. the consonant cluster makes the preceding syllable long; cf. also the acc. sg. °cariṃ (not °carīṃ) 17, 22, 26, 51, 62; Watanabe wrongly regards the title as primarily °carī. (All remaining citations in this article are from verses.) caryā may be used even in vss , where meter is indifferent (so SP 67.13 ) or requires long first syllable ( SP 68.6 ), tho in the latter case cāri (°ī) and cārikā , qq.v. , are also found; nearly all the cases here cited refer to the religious course leading to enlightenment, to Buddhahood or Bodhisattvahood, but occasionally the term is applied to any or all human courses of action, including such as are disapproved; iya bāla-carī, this foolish (or childish ) course LV 174.9, 11 ( vs ); jāniya te cariṃ ca SP 45.3 , knowing them (all the creatures of the world) and their (various) course (s) of action ; cariṃcariṃ jāniya nityakālaṃ vadāmi sattvāna tathā-tathāhaṃ SP 326.11 , knowing the various modes of conduct (of beings) always, I speak to creatures in this or that way ( Kashgar rec. , Thomas ap. Hoernle MR 133.1 , cari acari, metrically impossible, and uninterpretable; Thomas the moving and not-moving [of living beings], which seems unacceptable); jagataḥ prajānase yā carir yatha ca karmasaṃbhavaḥ RP 6.1 ; otherwise, referring to the course of Bodhisattvas, also called the true (bhūta), subtle (sūkṣma), pure (viśuddha), supreme (uttama) course, the course of (leading to) enlightenment (bodhi-), of morality (śīla-), or other similar epithets; also duṣkara-, referring to Śākyamuniʼs temporary experiment with severe austerities; often former, ancient (pūrva, purima ) with allusion to the length of it thru many past births; frequently a form of the cognate verb car (also ā-car) is used with it: sūkṣmāṃ cariṃ SP 12.7 ; te ( sc. of the Buddha) ātmana yādṛśī carī 63.13 ; bhūtāṃ cariṃ 64.2 (but in adjoining prose, 64.13, 65.5 , caryā); 127.10 ; 193.6 ; yathā carī mahya sutena cīrṇa 203.4 ; smara cari purimāṃ LV 161.21 ; yām evā varacari ( acc. ) caritas tvaṃ tām evā cari vibhaja jagasya 164.16 ; purimāṃ praṇidhāna-carīṃ 175.14 ; tāṃ pūrvacarīm [Page226-a] anusmarā 178.5 ; pūrvacariṃ carantaḥ 219.13 ; ṣaḍvarṣāṇi caritva duṣkaracariṃ 276.1 ; bodhicari sarva ( n. sg. ) 341.2 ; svacarī viśuddhacari pāragatā 360.3 ; nigadottamāṃ cariṃ RP 9.6 ; uttamacariṃ prakāśaya 9.14 ; cari buddhasutānāṃ Śikṣ 2.16 ; cariṣyāmy amitāṃ cariṃ 13.19 ; cari ( acc. ) samanta-bhadrāṃ Gv 57.17—18 ; purimacariṃ pariśuddha ācaritvā Sukh 23.14 ; śīlacariṃ Bhad 17 ; bodhicariṃ 22, 26, 28 .
