nidāna , nt. ( Skt. id. in mg. 1, but even here BHS develops the word differently from Skt. ; most, perhaps all, mgs. found in Pali id. ), ( 1 ) cause, underlying and determining factor ; may be associated with virtual synonyms hetu, pratyaya, nimitta: paribhoga-nimittaṃ ca kāmahetu-nidānaṃ ca … dṛṣṭadhārmikaṃ ca paryeṣṭi-nidānaṃ parigraha-nidānaṃ ca SP 77.14—15 ; sa-hetu sa-pratyayaṃ ca sa-nidānaṃ LV 376.21 ; jātī-nidāna jaravyādhiduḥkhāni bhonti LV 420.7 ( vs ), in the pratītya-samutpāda, where the regular term is pratyaya; Tib. here gzhi , underlying cause ; dāne nidāne ca sukhodayānāṃ Jm 24.25 ( vs ), and since giving is the cause of happiness and advancement (word-play on dāna); (bodhisattvāḥ …) mahantānām utpādānāṃ nidānam anuprāpnuvanti, bhūtānām ( true ) utpādānāṃ nidānam anuprā° Mv ii.260.16, 17 ; sākāraṃ soddeśaṃ sa-nidānaṃ pūrvanivāsam anusmarati sma Mvy 229 , he recalled his former births with their forms, locations, and underlying causes ( i.e. what made them what they were; Tib. gzhi ci las ḥgyur ba daṅ bcas pa , together with from-what-cause-origination ); the acc. sg. nidānaṃ is used adverbially, because of … , sometimes with dependent gen. preceding, mama nidānaṃ Mv ii.111.1 , on my account ; asmākam eva ni° Mv iii.221.9 , tava … ni° 13; or in comp. with preceding pronominal stem, tan-nidānaṃ, for that reason , Bbh 29.2, 7 ; 72.18 , etc. ; Laṅk 251.2 ; (kasya [Page296-a] hetoḥ, so read with v.l. ) kiṃnidānaṃ vā baddhaṃ SP 211.4 , for what reason or cause was it tied on? ; yan-nidānaṃ, inasmuch as , MSV ii.191.1 (= yad, 190.14 ), 11, and ff. ; esp. commonly preceded by tato, yato, less often ato, ito, it being open to question whether these latter forms are compounded with nidānaṃ (like tan-, kiṃ-, yan-, above), or are dependent ablatives (like the gens. mama, etc. , above); editors vary in printing them as one word or two (and so in Pali , tato-, yato-nidānaṃ): tato-nidānaṃ SP 347.12 ; Mv i.351.12 ; iii.66.5, 11 ; Śikṣ 84.6 ; Vaj 24.15 ; Bbh 46.25 ; ato-ni° Divy 448.4 ; MSV i.51.4 ; yato-ni° Śikṣ 100.12 ; Bbh 163.12 ; Ud ii.20 (duḥkhaṃ hi yo veda yatonidānaṃ, who knows misery, whence it is caused , = Pali id. in SN i.117.3 ; same line in Divy 224.18 reads yaḥ prekṣati duḥkham ito nidānaṃ, as caused from this ); ( 2 ) ( cause of action , so) motive, motivation , in tri-nidāna , q.v. ; also prob. in Av i.169.14 , teṣāṃ sattvānāṃ nidānam āśayānuśayaṃ copalakṣya svayam ārabdhaś cikitsāṃ … kartum, noting the motives, the disposition and inclination (see anuśaya ) of these creatures (who were afflicted with a pestilence; i.e. finding them worthy), himself undertook to give them medical treatment ; otherwise Feer , who understands cause (of the disease) of these creatures ; it is true that Pali nidāna means cause (aetiology) of disease in Miln. 272.13 , but it seems to me forcing the Av passage to read that mg. into it, esp. since the coordinated āśayānuśaya can hardly be applied to disease ( tho Feer makes the attempt); ( 3 ) beginning, introduction ( cf. Pali Nidānakathā, the introduction to Jāt. ): nidāna-parivartaḥ prathamaḥ Suv 5.6 , colophon to Chap. 1, the first, Introductory Chapter ; nidāna-namaskarāṇi samāptāni Mv i.2.12 , colophon, the introductory salutations ; iti śrīmahāvastunidāna-gāthā samāptā Mv i.4.11 , colophon, the first gāthā of the Mv (lines 9—10, which Senart prints as prose but which obviously were a verse, and the first one in Mv ); ( 4 ) theme, content, subject-matter : vaipulyasūtraṃ hi mahānidānam LV 7.9 ( vs ), … having an exalted theme , Tib. gleṅ gzhi ( subject of discourse ) chen po ( great ); yathā Śrāvastyāṃ tatra vinaye tantravāyasya nidānaṃ varṇayanti Karmav 71.(10—)11 , as here in the Vinaya they describe the theme (matter, account) of the weaver at Śrāvastī ; Śrāvastyāṃ nidānaṃ Divy 123.16 ; 198.1 ; MSV i.v.4 , at the beginning of a story, the theme (subject-matter) is (laid) in Ś. (so also Pali , e.g. SN v.12.9 ); yad-yat tvayābhihitaṃ nidāne Divy 626.29 ( vs ), … on (this) theme, subject ; uktaṃ nu te saumya guṇe nidānaṃ 627.1 , … the subject-matter (theme, account) on (the subject of) quality ; … vadāmi dharmaṃ, bodhiṃ nidānaṃ kariyāna nityam SP 128.7 ( vs ), I declare the doctrine, making enlightenment my constant theme ; sanidānaṃ ahaṃ … śrāvakāṇāṃ dharmaṃ deśayāmi na anidānaṃ Mv iii.51.12—13 , I preach to my disciples the doctrine including its content, not devoid of content ; vistareṇa nidānaṃ kṛtvā, a phrase indicating abbreviation of a cliché, making the content (theme, subject-matter) in full , Mv i.4.13—14 (here Senart em. kṛtyaṃ, all 6 mss. kṛtvā, which he keeps in the rest); ii.115.7 ; iii.224.12 ; 377.1, 8 ; 382.9 ; 389.14 ; 401.20 ; in all these reference is to the cliché given in full e.g. Mv i.34.1 ff. ; ( 5 ) as title of a class or type of work or subdivision of the Buddhist canon, acc. to Tib. on Mvy = gleṅ gzhiḥi ( ed. bzhiḥi ) sde , statement of subject-matter, table of contents, summary (of a work): Mvy 1272 , in list of dvādaśakadharma-pravacanam (omitted in Dharmas 62 , navāṅgapravacanāni, see Müllerʼs note ); in more informal lists of the same kind SP 45.8 ; Kv 81.21 ; ( 6 ) theme, subject , hence virtually occasion , parallel with prakaraṇa and velā, once also utpatti , vastu: etasmiṃ nidāne etasmiṃ prakaraṇe tāye velāye ( Divy tasyāṃ, misprinted tasyaṃ, velāyāṃ) Mv iii.91.17—18 ; Divy 654.21 , on this occasion, in this connexion, at this time ; (asyām utpattau) asmin nidāne (asmin prakaraṇe asmin vastuni) Mvy ( 9209 ,) 9210 , ( 9211—12 ).
