aupapāduka (°dika?), or upapāduka, adj. (the two forms identical in mg. and both included below
list of occurrences of upapāduka s.v.
aupapādika only SP 〔408.12〕, where 2 mss. °duka
corresp. to Pali opapātika, Jain Skt. aupa°, AMg. uvavāia, °iya
der. from upapāda, q.v.
with Leumann, Aup.S. 〔1〕
Weber I.St. 〔16.377〕, I believe BHS shows the etymologically historical form, from upa-pad, contrary to Childers, s.v., and Lévi JA. 1912 Pt. 2 〔p. 503〕
the counter-argument that upa-pad means to be born in the usual [rather, in any] way is inconclusive, since the passages cited below show that in BHS these words are definitely associated with upa-pad, see esp. SP 〔260.11—12〕
〔408.12〕
Divy 〔300.17〕), born by spontaneous generation: often the fourth of 4 kinds of beings classified as to manner of birth, aṇḍajā(ḥ vā) jārāyujā(ḥ vā) saṃsvedajā(ḥ vā)aupapādukā(ḥ vā), SP 〔346.8〕
Mv 〔i.211.16〕 = 〔ii.15.15—16〕
〔ii.163.21〕
Sādh 〔26.7〕
or °upapādukā(ḥ vā) Mvy 〔(2279—)2282〕
Mv 〔i.212.7〕 (v.l. aupa°)
Dharmas 〔90〕 (n. sg. forms)
also in cpd. -aṇḍaja-jarāyuja-saṃsvedajaupapāduka- Dbh 〔15.8〕
jarāyujāṇḍajasaṃsvedaja-upapāduka-sattva- Mmk 〔16.14〕
with omission of one member, aṇḍaja, saṃsvedaja, upapāduka, Gv 〔264.24〕
jarāyuja-saṃsvedajaupapādukānāṃ Divy 〔627.17〕
sometimes with addition of other terms, as rūpiṇo vārūpiṇo vā saṃjñino vāsaṃjñino vā etc. SP 〔346.8〕
Sādh 〔26.7〕, and similar additions in some others of the above
other occurrences: Divy 〔300.17〕 aupapādukāḥ sattvā ghaṭīyantraprayogena cyavamānā upapadyamānāś ca (falling and being reborn in the manner of a bucket-machine, sc. for raising water from a well) kartayvāḥ (as part of the pañcagaṇḍakaṃ, q.v., cakram)
usually, as here, of human beings, esp. Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and cakravartins
they often appear sitting on lotuses, which may themselves be spontaneously generated, as in SP 〔260.11—12〕 yasmiṃś ca buddhakṣetra upapatsyate tasminn aupapāduke saptaratnamaye padma upapatsyate
SP 〔455.4〕 (vs
in 3 ‘there is no sexual intercourse’) upapāduka te jinorasāḥ padmagarbheṣu niṣaṇṇa nirmalāḥ
Śikṣ 〔175.8〕 te (bodhisattvāḥ) tatra nānāraṅgeṣu padmeṣūpapādukāḥ prādurbhavanti
contrasted with birth in the womb, Sukh 〔65.16〕 (anye garbhāvāsaṃ) prativasant, anye (sc. bodhisattvāḥ) punar aupapādukāḥ padmeṣu paryaṅkaiḥ prādurbhavanti (also 〔66.6〕), some dwell in the dwelling of the womb (Müller. SBE 49, 2, 〔p. 62〕 calyx!), others, spontaneously generated, appear sitting cross-legged on lotuses
similarly Mv 〔i.145.4〕 (na khalu …) bodhisattvā mātāpitṛnirvṛttā bhavanti, atha khalu svaguṇanirvṛttyā (so with mss., by the creative power of their own virtues) upapādukā (v.l. aup°) bhavanti
in Mv 〔i.153.6 ff.〕 it is explained that Bodhisattvas, after rebirth in the Tuṣita heaven, do not engage in sex relations, and hence Siddhārtha was not Rāhulaʼs father
Rāhula nevertheless entered (in some way not explained) the womb of Yaśodharā
but R. was not aupapāduka as cakravartins are, 〔153.16—154.3〕 (rājānaś cakravartinaḥ) aupapādukā babhūvu … cakravartigaṇāḥ [Page163-a] aupapādukā āsan, na tathā Rāhurabhadra iti
that cakravartins are aupa° (upa°) is also shown by Gv 〔254.12〕 (vs, of a cakravartin, having the 32 lakṣaṇa) upapāduko padumagarbhe
〔268.26〕 cakravartī caturdvīpeśvaraḥ aupapādukaḥ padmagarbhe …
elsewhere however it is clear that one born from the womb may nevertheless be aup°, Gv 〔339.4〕 yayā (sc. Māyayā) sa upapādukaḥ kumāra (sc. the bodhisattva Śākyamuni) utsaṅge pratigṛhītaḥ
SP 〔408.12〕 (of a bodhisattva
rājño Vimaladattasya) gṛha upapanna aupapādika (2 mss. °duka) utsaṅge paryaṅkeṇa prādurbhūto 'bhūt
other statements about aup° (up°) are that anything they wish is instantly fulfilled, Av 〔ii.95.11〕 (see s.v. upapāduka) yenopapādukaḥ saṃvṛttaḥ sa(ha)cittotpādāc cāsya yac cintayati yat prārthayate tat sarvaṃ samṛdhyatīti
they have the 32 lakṣaṇa, and otherwise marvelous bodies, SP 〔205.14〕 (vs) upapādukāḥ sarvi (sc. sattvāḥ) suvarṇavarṇā dvātriṃśatīlakṣaṇarūpadhāriṇaḥ
SP 〔202.5〕 te sattvā aupapādukā bhaviṣyanti … manomayair ātmabhāvaiḥ svayaṃprabhā(ḥ) …
such birth results from high moral attainments in the past, Divy 〔533.25〕 (striyo yāḥ pañcānām avarabhāgīyānāṃ) saṃyojanānāṃ (q.v.) prahāṇād upapādukāḥ
this word is suggested by the letter au in the young Bodhisattvaʼs spelling lesson, LV 〔127.10〕 aukāre aupapāduka-śabdaḥ.
