Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
? nidhyāpayati (= Pali nijjhāpeti, give to understand, Childers
certainly means this in MN 〔i.321.7〕, = saññāpenti, comm. jānāpenti
in same line nijjhatti, see nidhyapti, defined by comm. 〔ii.393.32〕 as synonym of saññatti
PTSD defs. of this group of words need revision), causes meditation or comprehension
noted only in a probably spurious sentence, atha śuddhāvāsakāyikā devā nidhyāpayanti sma, bodhisattvam āharituṃ LV 〔187.19〕 (bracketed by Lefm., om. most mss., Calc., and Tib.)
would seem to mean, then the Ś. gods instigated earnest thought, to draw the Bodhisattva out. (In 〔lines 21 ff.〕 they cause the first of the Four Sights to appear to him.)
