प्रतिपद्यति (pratipadyati)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
pratipadyati (Pali paṭipajjati seems so used, but hardly Skt.
cf. pratipatti, °pad, °panna), behaves, with instr. of manner: yan nv aham alpāhāratayā pratipadyeyam LV 〔254.2〕 (prose), suppose now I behave with (practise according to the method of) taking scant food. This seems the most probable interpretation
otherwise Tib., which renders the instr. -tayā by la, as if dative, and then has nan tan bya ḥo, I shall make earnest effort to eat scant food
I can hardly believe this is what the text means.
