cause
hetu , ( 1 ) (substantially = Skt. id. ) cause ; on relation to pratyaya (1) see this; normally m. as in Skt. and Pali ( Childers ), but mss. make it f. in Mv i.43.10 ( vs ), intending sarvābhi (°hi) hetūbhi upasthitāhi, where Senart em. sarvehi … upasthitehi, in accord with repetition i.242.20 (where read upasthitehi instead of Senart ʼs violent em. ); six hetu, Mvy 2259—65 and AbhidhK.

(= Pali id. ; only noted ifc. in BHS but in Pali used alone with prec. gen. ; acc. to Senart i note 536 , an ‘ atténuation ’ of Skt. hetoḥ), for the sake of, because of, in order to : bodhihetur ( for the sake of enlightenment , Tib. byaṅ chub don du ; is -r ‘Hiatus-bridger’, § 4.62 ? or may -hetur be m.c. for -hetor, supporting Senart ʼs theory? a nom. sg. is impossible here) aprameya tyaktu dustyajā tvayā LV 170.14 ( vs ); ārakṣahetu, for the purpose of guarding, for a guard , Mv i.204.6, 11 = ii.8.1, 6 ( vss ); parasya vismāpanahetu (so Tib. , ṅo mtshar … ; text viśvāp°) KP 126.14 ( vs ), to astonish another ; ( 3 ) a high number: hetuḥ Mvy 8018 .
cause; reason; condition
Hetu [Vedic hetu, from hi to impel] 1. cause, reason, condition S I 134; A III 440 f.; Dhs 595, 1053; Vism 450; Tikap 11, 233, 239. In the older use paccaya and hetu are almost identical as synonyms, e.g. n'atthi hetu n'atthi paccayo D I 53; aṭṭha hetū aṭṭha paccayā D III 284 f.; cf. S III 69 f.; D II 107; M I 407; A I 55 f., 66, 200; IV 151 f.; but later they were differentiated (see Mrs. Rh.D., Tikap introduction page xi. f. ). The difference between the two is explained e.g. at Nett 78 f.; As 303. — There are a number of other terms, with which hetu is {660} often combined, apparently without distinction in meaning, e.g. hetu paccaya kāraṇa Nidd II §617 ( sub voce saṅkhā); mūla h. nidāna sambhava pabhava samuṭṭhāna āhāra ārammaṇa paccaya samudaya: frequent in the Niddesa (see Nidd II page 231, sub voce mūla). In the Abhidhamma we find hetu as "moral condition" referring to the 6 mūlas or bases of good and bad kamma, viz. lobha, dosa, moha and their opposites: Dhs 1053 f.; Kv 532 f. — Four kinds of hetu are distinguished at As 303 = Vibh-a 402, viz. hetu°, paccaya°, uttama°, sādhāraṇa°. Another 4 at Tikap 27, viz. kusala°, akusala°, vipāka°, kiriya°, and 9 at Tikap 252, viz. kusala°, akusala°, avyākata°, in 3×3 constellations (cf. As 303). — On term in detail see Cpd. 279 f.; BMPE 1053, 1075. — ablative hetuso from or by way of (its) cause S V 304; A III 417. — accusative hetu (—°) (elliptically as adverb) on account of, for the sake of (with genitive); e.g. dāsa-kammakara-porisassa hetu M II 187; kissa hetu why? A III 303; IV 393; Snp 1131; Pv II 8 1 (= kiṃ nimittaṃ Pv-a 106); pubbe kata° by reason (or in consequence) of what was formerly done A I 173 f.; dhana° for the sake of gain Snp 122. 2. suitability for the attainment of Arahantship, one of the 8 conditions precedent to becoming a Buddha Bv II 59 = Ja I 14, 44. 3. logic Miln 3. -paccaya the moral causal relation, the first of the 24 Paccayas in the Paṭṭhāna Tikap 1 f., 23 f., 60 f., 287, 320; Dukap 8, 41 f.; Vism 532; Vibh-a 174; -pabhava arising from a cause, conditioned Vin I 40; Dhp-a I 92; -vāda the theory of cause, as adjective "proclaimer of a cause," name of a sect M I 409; opposite ahetu-vāda "denier of a cause" (also a sect) M I 408; ahetu-vādin the same Ja V 228, 241 (= Jm 149).
