Yadi (indeclinable) [adverb formation, original locative, from ya°; cf. Vedic yadi] 1. as conjunction: if; constructed either with present indicative, as: Snp 189; "yadi bodhiṃ pattuṃ icchasi" Ja I 24 (verse 167); "yadi dāyako dānaṃ deti ... etaṃ bījaṃ hoti" Pv-a 8; or potential; or with a participle, as: "yadi evaṃ sante" that being so, if this is so D I 61; "gahito yadi sīho te" if the lion is caught by you Mhv 6, 27. — With other particles, e.g. yādi āsanamattaṃ pi even if only a seat Vv-a 39; yadi ... atha kasmā if ... how then Miln 4. yadi evaṃ ... (tu) even if ... yet (but) Pv-a 63 (y. e. pitā na rodati, mātu nāma hadayaṃ mudukaṃ). — yadi va "or" (cf. Vedic yadi vā "or be it that") Dhp 195 (= yadi vā athavā Dhp-a III 252). So yadi vā at Ja I 18 (verse 97: latā vā yadi vā rukkhā etc. Snp 119 (gāme vā yadi varaññe). 2. as a strong particle of exhortation: yadi evaṃ if so, in that case, let it be that, all right, now then Pv-a 54 (y. e. yaṃ mayhaṃ desitaṃ ekassa bhikkhuno dehi), 217 (y. e. yāvadatthaṃ gaṇhāhi: take as much as you like).
