देशनापाठ (dezanApATha)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
deśanā-pāṭha (m.), sermon-reading, verbal instruction or text
acc. to Suzuki, always depreciative in Laṅk
so (thinks S.) °ṭha-kathāṃ Laṅk 〔12.17〕 contrasting with tathāgatapratyātmagocarakathāṃ 16
I am not sure that I understand this passage, but deśanāpāṭhābhiratānāṃ [Page272-a] sattvānāṃ 〔14.2〕 is certainly depreciative
as to deśanāpāṭhe 〔16.12〕, I am again uncertain
yāni deśanāpāṭhe (Suzuki, canonical texts) 'nusaṃvarṇitāny ānantaryāṇi 〔139.9〕, these are among the ‘external’ (bāhyāni, 〔139.6〕) acts-of-immediate-fruition
in 〔222.19〕 etad eva mayā Śrīmālāṃ devīm adhikṛtya deśanāpāṭhe …, there seems nothing depreciative, even in Suzukiʼs rendering, this was told by me in the canonical text relating to Queen Śrīmālā (viz., the Śrīmālāsiṃhanāda-sūtra?).
