आदीकरोति (AdIkaroti)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
ādīkaroti (see s.v. ādi), starts from (acc.), makes the starting point: ger. °kariyāṇa, SP 〔192.1〕 (vs) avidya (acc.) ādīkariyāṇa cakṣumān, prabhāṣate maraṇam anantaduḥkham (so apparently mss., combining the note to KN ed. with that to Kernʼs Transl. SBE 〔21.185〕), starting with ignorance, the Enlightened One expounded death and infinite misery. This reading is perfect in meter and sense. Possibly ādī is to be taken as a separate word, = ādiṃ
certainly it means the same as ādiṃ kṛ-.
