English? upakāraṇa (cf. AMg. uvagāraṇa = Skt. upakāra? or for Skt. and Pali upakaraṇa?), in Mmk 〔48.10〕 evaṃ laḍḍukāgarbhoktārakaviśeṣān (? seems corrupt) pūpopakāraṇān sarvadevabhūtagaṇān sarvasattvāṃś ca mantropetān vidhinā niryātayet. We seem to need dat. instead of acc. forms for °gaṇān and °sattvāmś (as in the following parallel sentence)
with that change, pūpopakāraṇān might mean benefactions consisting of cakes, or instruments (cf. upakaraṇa) of (making) cakes
or, with a mg. characteristic of upakaraṇa in Pali rather than Skt., commodities consisting of cakes
or finally, if = BHS upakaraṇa in Bbh 〔246.24〕 (see s.v.), food consisting of cakes.
