cessation
nirodha , m. (= Skt. and Pali id. ), suppression ; in statements of the 3d Noble Truth, see ārya-satya; ni°samāpatti , see this; mg. obscure in (sukhito pramuditaḥ pratikrośaṃ) pratilabhati ( sc. in the decadence of religion) purima-nirodha-dṛṣṭaṃ Mv ii.371.(10—)11 ( vs ); Senartʼs note has what seems to me an unacceptable suggestion. Could it mean (revilings) seen in earlier repressions (of religion)? [See s.v. Rodha for a wrong reading which would make Nirodha the n. of a former Buddha, LV 171.17 .]
ceasing, cessation; the being no more; stopping, shutting off; (for saññāvedayitanirodha) the cessation of conception and feeling
Nirodha [BHS nirodha, to nirundhati, cf. nirujjhati and niruddha] oppression, suppression; destruction, cessation, annihilation (of senses, consciousness, feeling and being in general: saṅkhārā). Buddhaghosa's explanation of the word is: "ni-saddo abhāvaṃ, rodha-saddo ca cārakaṃ dīpeti Vism 495. — N. in many cases is synonymous with Nibbāna and Parinibbāna; it may be said to be even a stronger expression as far as the active destruction of the causes of life is concerned. Therefore frequently combined with Nibbāna in formula {335} "sabba-saṅkhāra-samatho ... virāgo nirodho Nibbānaṃ," e.g. S I 136; It 88. Nidd II sub voce Nibbāna (see Nibbāna III 6). Also in combination with nibbidā, e.g. S III 48, 223; III 163 f.; V 438. — The opposite of nirodha is samudaya, cf. formula "yaṃ kiñci samudaya-dhammaṃ sabban taṃ nirodha-dhammaṃ" e.g. Nidd II under saṅkhārā and passim .
