upasaṃhāra , m. (to °harati ; Pali cited PTSD only Miln. 298.7 , where devatūpasaṃhārato (supinaṃ passati) prob. means not ‘being seized or possessed by a god’ but thru providing, procurement, causation of , i.e. by, a god ), ( 1 ) ( cf. upasaṃharati 1 and 2) collection or provision , esp. of food and drink: Divy 237.7 (also 9) bhikṣubhir upasaṃhāra ārabdhaḥ kartum; Av i.113.3 (kriyatām asya gṛhapater) upasaṃhāra iti; Bbh 80.6 and 81.27 āmiṣopasaṃhāra, defined 81.28 as bhojanapānādivikalānāṃ bhojanapānādyupasaṃhāraḥ; Bbh 209.26, 27 ; also furnishing, providing of other things, Bbh 80.6 and 82.3 dharmopasaṃhāra, defined 82.4 as dharmāṇām anupradānam , q.v. ; Bbh 208.4 upakaraṇavikalānām upakaraṇopasaṃhāraṃ karoti; Bbh 19.2 hitasukhopasaṃhāra-prayogaḥ; 23.24 (dharma, as above); 27.20 (hita); 210.8 (naṣṭapratibhānānāṃ) sattvānāṃ pratibhānopasaṃhārāya, cf. Suv 102.17 , s.v. upasaṃharati 3; Dbh 65.7 (tasya … bodhisattvasya … buddhā) bhagavantas … tathāgatajñānopasaṃhāraṃ kurvanti, the Blessed Buddhas make (for this Bodhisattva) a providing of Tathāgata-knowledge ; Gv 144.17 mayaite poṣitāḥ pāramitopasaṃhārair, … by providing for them the perfections ; Suv 68.14 (sarvasattvānāṃ) sarvahitopasaṃhārābhiyuktāḥ; Av ii.129.14 mayātīva evaṃvidho dveṣapratyayopasaṃhāraḥ kṛto, by me such an excessive collection of causes of hatred was made ; so the ms. , Speyer em. to °opasaṃbhāraḥ, and in fact in the next line (15) the ms. reads dveṣopasaṃbhāro, but upasaṃbhāra seems otherwise unknown and should prob. be emended to upasaṃhāra, rather than vice versa ; one alternative Tib. rendering of upasaṃhāraḥ at Mvy 6395 is ñe bar ( near , a lit. rendering of upa) bsgrub pa ( make, provide, supply ), cf. KP 3.6 s.v. upasaṃharati 3; ( 2 ) production, the act or process of producing or causing : in Tib. the usual rendering seems to be ñe bar (= upa) sbyor (or sbyar ) ba ( produce, compose ), as in Mvy 4407 and 4414 (see below), and in one alternative at 6395 (see just above), while at 4457 it is lti bar sbyor ba (I cannot find what lti means); another word meaning produce , bskyed pa , is used in 8487 for kaukṛtyopasaṃhāraḥ, the causing of disturbance of mind or conscience, remorse (see kaukṛtya and upasaṃharati 3; the corresp. Pali passage, Vin. iv.149.9 , has kukkuccaṃ upadaheyya); on Mvy 8502 see below; Dbh 72.12 dharmālokopasaṃhāraṃ pratīcchati (here the mg. production , viz. of the light of the law , is guaranteed by the verb upasaṃharati just before, see that word, 3); ( 3 ) ( cf. upasaṃharati 4, 5) specialized as production in words, presentation (orally), statement, declaration, proclamation , esp. of something of religious nature: Mvy 8502 śikṣopasaṃhārapratikṣepaḥ, rejection of a statement of instruction ( prob. refers to the case of Pali Vin. iv.143.16 . Minayeff , 17.20 ff. ); here Tib. ñe bar (= upa) ḥjog pa ( put, place, arrange ); Mvy 4407, 4414 -dṛṣṭāntopasaṃhāra-, presentation or statement of a comparison ; Śikṣ 2.6 durlabho bhūtanayānuśāsany-upasaṃhāraḥ; 11.8—9 dānakāle śīlopasaṃhārasyāpekṣā ( acc. to note in Transl. of Bendall and Rouse , read °syopekṣā).
