अनुधर्म (anudharma)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
anudharma (= Pali anudhamma). Acc. to PTSD, Pali dhammānudhamma is used as a distributive or intensive cpd., see under 1 anu, the Law in all its parts
while Childers understands anudh° as lesser or inferior dhamma (against which see Lévi on Sūtrāl. 〔xiii.1〕 comm.). Acc. to CPD anudhamma means (right) method and is a ‘hypostasis of anu-dhammaṃ’ (adv., in accordance with dhamma). In BHS (as also in Pali, e.g. Dhp. 〔20〕) there is some evidence suggesting that dharmānudharma is equivalent to dharmasya anu°, perhaps the true method of the law or the like: Bbh 〔284.1〕 na pratipadyante dharmasyānudharmam, they do not attain (? practise) the anudh° of the dh°
〔197.16〕 dharmasyānudharmaṃ pratipadyamānasya (sc. Bodhisattvasya
not agreeing with dharmasya, which depends on anudh°)
Gv 〔383.5〕 dharmasya cānudharmaṃ pratipadye, and I attain (? practise) the anudh° of the dh°. Without dharma in the context, we find anudharma-cārin Divy 〔617.16〕 (°riṇī, f.), anudharma-praticārin Mvy 〔1123〕 (°rī). So we should probably interpret all cpds. of dharmānudharma-, which usually parallel the like cpds. in Pali: dharmānudharma-cārin Dbh 〔32.21〕
°rma-pratipatti, attainment (? practice) of the anudh° of the dh° Mvy 〔1801〕 (mss. erroneously omit dharma after anu
em. Kyoto ed.)
Dbh 〔33.29〕
Bbh 〔204.7〕
KP 〔9.2〕
LV 〔32.16〕
°rmapratipanna Bbh 〔84.4〕
LV 〔179.12〕
〔377.14〕
Mvy 〔1124〕. In Mvy 〔9321〕 are mentioned ṣaḍ anudharmāḥ, after 〔9320〕 ṣaḍ dharmāḥ
so also Bhīk 〔16b.4〕 ṣaṭsu dharmeṣu ṣaṭsv anudharmeṣu śikṣā
in neither place do I find any clue to what the six anudharma (or dharma) are. I have not noted any adv. anudharmaṃ (parallel to Pali anudhammaṃ).
