jalpa , m. , or better jalpā (= Pali jappā, desire ), desire : in Mv iii.284.19 ( vs ) mss. sarvāṃ prahāya bhavalobhajalpaṃ, not to be emended; same vs in Pali SN i.123.8 chetvāna ( v.l. hitvāna) sabbaṃ bhavalobhajappaṃ. It is tempting to interpret in the same way such passages as Laṅk 186.8, 9 ( vss ) jalpaprapañcābhiratā hi bālās … jalpo hi traidhātukaduḥkhayonis, fools delight in jalpa and idle fancies (? see prapañca ) … for jalpa is the source of the misery of the universe . This seems more naturally to mean desire than (idle) talk ; but acc. to Suzukiʼs Index Tib. ( smra ba ) supports the latter; this might however only mean that Tib. knew the regular Skt. jalpa and had lost the tradition of the old word represented by Pali jappā.
