pratipad , f. , also °dā (= Pali paṭipadā), course of conduct, practice, behavior , esp. good, approved behavior , = pratipatti , q.v. ; acc. to Childers and PTSD , so also primarily Pali paṭipadā; this mg. is recognized by Speyer on Av ii.130.2 , which he reads by em. araṇya-°daṃ samādāya (better, I think araṇāṃ pra°, see s.v. araṇya ; in that case render passionless way of behavior ); he also accepts this mg. in puṇyāṃ pratipadam udbhāvayan dānadamasaṃyamādibhiḥ Jm 100.10 , displaying meritorious behavior by … ; vākpragraheṇa pratipanmayena Jm 105.2 , by (the kind of) acceptance of his words which consists of behavior , i.e. by not only assenting verbally but putting them into practice; (anayāpi … caryayānayāpi) pratipadā LV 263.11 (pratipad = caryā), and similarly 264.18 ; often rendered way, path , and called ‘a quasi-synonym of magga’ in PTSD ; this is due to the fact that the middle course of conduct , madhyamā pratipad(ā), is (in BHS as in Pali ) identified with the eight-fold way (mārga) stated in the fourth Noble Truth, but the terms are quite differently defined, ma° pra° being the course of behavior which steers between the two extremes (anta) of violent asceticism and worldliness; the lack of real synonymity between Pali magga and paṭipadā is shown, e.g. , by DN ii.154.25—26 (kaṅkhā vā vimati vā) Buddhe vā dhamme vā saṃghe vā magge vā paṭipadāya vā (obviously different things must be meant); madhyamayaiva pratipadā LV 416.21 (contrasted with amadhyamā pratipad = violent asceticism, 416.19 ); here as elsewhere such a statement introduces the Four Noble Truths, the fourth of which is duḥkhanirodhagāminī pratipad (with or without āryasatyam, in LV 417.3, 12 without it, in 12 = eṣa evāryāṣṭāṅgamārgaḥ); so Mvy 1314, 1319, 1324 ; Mv ii.138.5 (with āryasatyam) and 10 (without it); 285.4 (without it); SP 179.3 (with it); more metaphysical interpretations of the term madhyamā pratipad in Bbh 39.26 ; KP 52.6 and repeatedly in following sections; one of the ten bala of a Tathāgata is sarvatragāmanī-pratipaj-jñānam Mvy 125 , cf. sarvatragāminī-(the more usual form)-pratipatti-jñāna-balam Dharmas 76 (note obvious equivalence of pratipad and pratipatti!), power of knowledge of courses of conduct which may lead to any result ; in same context sarvatragāminīṃ ca pratipadaṃ ( v.l. °dāṃ) vetti Mv i.159.13 ( vs ), and, for another, see s.v. pratipadā ; parānukampā-pratipad Jm 28.7 , conducting oneself with compassion for others ; nairyāṇika- (and °kī) pratipad, see s.v. nairyāṇika ; śaikṣa-pratipady uttarikaraṇīyam (see this) Sukh 2.13 , in the course ( practice ; here we could also, no doubt, translate path ) of the śaikṣa ( q.v. ); there are four courses of conduct ( Tib. lam , way, path , but also manner of conduct ) Mvy 1244—1248 , viz duḥkhā pra° dhandhābhijñā, sukhā pra° dhandhābhijñā, duḥkhā pra° kṣiprābhijñā, sukhā pra° kṣiprā° (for the corresponding Pali list, and interpretation, see Childers s.v. paṭipadā).
