अन्धकारापितत्व (andhakArApitatva)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
andhakārāpita-tva, nt. (abstr. from caus. pple. to denom. verb from andhakāra, darkness), state of being darkened
so (or, possibly, andhakārāyita-tva, from non-caus. denom. pple.) I would read at Mv 〔i.41.5〕
〔229.20〕
〔240.9〕
〔ii.162.9〕
〔iii.334.7〕
〔341.12〕. The mss. are corrupt in the entire passage (see lokāntarikā) and particularly at this point
Senart reads °kārārpitā, but there is no support for the -r- in the mss. The Mv seems to have read andhakārā andhakārāpitatvā (? °yitatvā), tamisrā tamisrāyitatvā (q.v.), darknesses, darkenednesses, glooms, begloomednesses. Only Mv has the second member of each pair (the derivatives of denom. pples.)
the other parallel passages point to something like andhakārā andhakāratamisrāḥ, q.v.
