Ṛṣipatana (in mss. also °paṭana, °paṭṭana, °pattana, °bhavana), or Ṛṣivadana, nt. or (LV) m., n. of the deer-park at Benares where Buddha preached his first sermon. On the forms of the name, see Senart, Mv 〔i.631〕
Lévi, JA 1912 (vol. 20), 〔499 f.〕
Pali Isipatana
this form supported by widely-known etym., Mv 〔i.359.17〕 ṛṣayo 'tra patitā ṛṣipatanaṃ, similarly LV 〔19.3〕, and in Pali
vadana acc. to Senart and Lévi Prakritic. Both forms Mvy 〔4130〕 °patanam, Tib. lhuṅ ba, fall, and 〔4131〕 °vadanam, Tib. smra ba, speak (Mironov °pattanam for the latter, but he records v.l. °padanam
Tib. supports °vad°). In Mv, mss. usually vary between -vadana and -pattana, Senart always (in these cases) adopting the former: 〔i.43.15〕 (one ms. °bhavana)
〔161.4〕
〔174.2〕
〔307.5〕
〔313.16, 19〕
〔323.14, 16〕 (in 16 -pahana instead of -pattana)
〔330.4〕
〔331.3〕
〔337.11〕
〔iii.330.3, 17〕. But in 〔i.243.3〕 Senarts reads bhavanasmiṃ with mss. (v.l. °nesmiṃ), and (besides 〔i.359.17〕 above) in 〔ii.138.2〕
〔iii.323.3〕
〔328.20〕 -patana (only v.l. -pattana in all three)
in 〔i.366.8〕 mss. °paṭṭane, Senart pattano. Divy has only -vadana, 〔393.21〕
〔464.16〕
Av only patana, 〔i.42.9〕 etc., passim (in 〔i.237.13〕 the former Buddha Kāśyapa stays there). SP has -patana, once, 〔69.12〕
and LV app. only -patana, 〔18.20〕
〔19.3〕
〔264.22〕
〔402.3〕
〔404.17〕
〔407.16〕
〔413.1〕
〔421.16〕 (v.l. -paṭana 〔18.20〕
〔19.3〕)
in 〔407.16〕 nom. sg. °no (the only form in LV unambiguous as to gender).
