pratikroSa
pratikrośa ( m. ? to next; cf. Pali paṭikkosana), rejection, scorn, disregard : °śena AsP 179.6 (prose; refers to action of 179.4 , see next); rejection of, opposition to , action in the saṃgha, MSV ii.210.5, 9 ff. In Mv ii.371.10 ( vs ) Senart reads sukhito pramuditaḥ pratikrośaṃ pratilabhati purimanirodhadṛṣṭaṃ, and interprets prati° as [Page362-a] referring to the contempt and ill-treatment which pious men will accept with joy in the time of decadence of religion; but this does not seem a natural interpretation, and the mss. read, one, prītiḥ krośaṃ, the other pratikośaṃ; combining parts of each we would get prītikośaṃ, a treasure-store of joy , which makes good sense and which I would read. The meter is very puzzling to me in this whole passage, so that I cannot rely on it.
