prativarRika
prativarṇika ( var. °ṇaka), m. , or °ṇikā (in mg. = Skt. pratirūpaka, which is also BHS ; both = Tib. ltar bcos pa , Mvy 6687—9 ), counterfeit , (false) imitation (of something, which usually precedes in comp. ): prajñāpāramitā-°ṇikaḥ Mvy 6687 ( Mironov °ṇakaḥ); the gender of the first element makes °ṇikā seem preferable, and this is used in the same cpd. AsP 112.16 ff. ; tasyāḥ ( sc. prajnāpāramitāyāḥ) °ṇikām 113.3 (in the foll. passage it is said to consist in the doctrine that impermanence, anityatā, of the skandhas means destruction, vināśa, of them); na ( sc. prajñāpāramitā-)-prativarṇikāpi 181.5 , not even the counterfeit (of it); bodhisattva-prativarṇikaḥ 394.16 , a counterfeit bodhisattva . In several of these passages there are parallels with pratirūpa(ka). (See Schmidt, Nachträge , for a different mg. in Skt. )
