ADipateya
ādhipateya , nt. (anomalously m. Mvy 7192 °yaḥ = Tib. bdaṅ du ḥgyur ba (or bya ba ), so also Mironov ; = Pali ādhipateyya, see below; from adhipati, roughly = Skt. ādhipatya, which is used in AbhidhK. , see Index, in ways not closely parallel to the Pali usage), control, influence, mastery, prime motivation ( lit. overlordship ). In Pali esp. used of one of three influences leading to virtue, attādhi° ( q.v. CPD ), lokādhi°, dhammādhi°, see Childers s.v. ādhipateyya and Vism. i.14.1 ff. ( the influence of oneself , i.e. conscience or self-respect; the influence of the world or public opinion; the influence of dhamma or regard for moral principles as authoritatively laid down). In BHS little evidence is found for the existence of these, tho Speyer ( Transl. 114 ) renders Jm 80.14 (hrīvarṇapratisaṃyukteṣu) lokādhipateyeṣu ca ( sc. upaneyam) by … the regard of public opinion , perhaps rightly. On the other hand, lokādhipateya-prāpta LV 425.5 can only mean arrived at the overlordship of the world ; it is one of a long list of epithets of the Buddha as the one that has ‘turned the wheel of the Law’; it is preceded by lokagurur … lokārthakara … lokānuvartaka … lokavid ity ucyate, and it would be absurd to interpret it as under the control of public opinion . (See also LV 179.20—21 s.v. ādhipateyatā .) Mv i.16.12 = 18.5, 15 = 19.5 = 20.10 (evaṃ khalu) punaḥ ādhipateya-mātram etaṃ tatropatteḥ, but this, of course, is only the principal cause (controlling influence) of rebirth there ( viz. in one of various hells); Gv 19.8 na tad balaṃ na tad ādhipateyaṃ … (saṃvidyate), that (sort of) power or controlling influence (is not found); oftener at the end of Bhvr. cpds. , Śikṣ 117.3 mahākaruṇādhipateyaṃ, (any action of Bodhisattvas is …) controlled (influenced) by supreme compassion ; Śikṣ 250.5 cakṣurindriyādhipateyā rūpārambaṇaprativijñaptiḥ, recognition of the sense-object form, which (recognition) is controlled by (= dependent on) the sense of sight ; Dbh 11.20 (tac cittam utpadyate bodhisattvānāṃ) mahākaruṇāpūrvamgamaṃ prajñājñānādhipateyaṃ …; Śikṣ 322.15 dharmādhipateya, of Buddhas.
