prahāṇa, nt. (besides the mgs. here noted, also as in Skt. id., getting rid of, abandonment
only this mg. seems to be recognized by Tib. which regularly renders spoṅ ba
mg. 1 = Pali padhāna, BHS also pradhāna, q.v., here in Pktic form, cf. AMg. pahāṇa-vanta, Ratnach. = Hindi saṃyama samādhivālā
rendered one who concentrates on self-restraint, better … on strenuous exertion
mg. 2 = AMg. pahāṇa, Skt. pradhāna),
(1) exertion, strenuosity: four such Mvy 〔957—961〕 (as in Pali, see s.v. pradhāna for list)
oftener called samyakprahāṇa (also °pradhāna
Pali sammappadhāna)
Dharmas 〔45〕 (with list)
Śikṣ 〔105.14〕
KP 〔95.6〕
Divy 〔208.8〕
in long cpds. containing lists of virtues and religious requirements, LV 〔8.5〕
〔426.7〕
prahāṇa less technically, of zealous religious activity, in a series of vss similar, tho not quite identical, in Mv 〔ii.238.3 ff.〕, LV 〔261.2 ff.〕, and Pali Sn 〔425 ff.〕: LV 〔4〕 prahāṇāyodyataṃ … dṛḍhavikramaṃ (subject), cf. Mv 〔4〕 prahāṇaṃ prahitaṃ (q.v.) mayā, Sn 〔425〕 maṃ padhāna pahitattaṃ
Mv 〔8〕 saṃhara mahā-prahāṇaṃ, restrain your great (ascetic) exertion! (Māra speaks), not in LV or Sn LV 〔13〕 kiṃ prahāṇe kariṣyasi, (Sktization of) Mv 〔12〕 kiṃ prahāṇena kāhisi, Sn 〔428〕 kiṃ padhānena kāhasi
LV 〔14〕 duḥkhaṃ mārgaṃ praháṇasya, Mv 〔13〕 text dūraṃ (mss. duraṃ, duraṃgaṃ, read perh. duḥkham?) āśā prahāṇasya, Sn 〔429〕 duggo maggo padhānāya
similarly, prahāṇāya gamiṣyāmi Mv 〔ii.199.18〕 (vs) = Pali Sn 〔424〕 padhānāya gamissāmi
in a prose passage not found in LV or Sn, but introducing the above series of vss, Mv has (in words said by Māra to the Bodhisattva) kiṃ prahāṇena kariṣyasi 〔ii.237.18〕, prahāṇam ca duṣkaram 21
bodhisattvaḥ [Page390-a] prahāṇārthī viharati LV 〔246.8〕, which supports reading of v.l. at Mv 〔ii.124.1〕 (alaṃ punaḥ me …) kulaputrasya prahāṇārthikasya prahāṇāye, yan nūnāhaṃ ihaiva (mss. °vaṃ) prahāṇaṃ hareyaṃ (so mss., Senart prahar°
better would perhaps be vihareyaṃ, dwell in …, see s.v. vyapakṛṣṭa, where cliché is cited with prahitātmā and forms of viharati)
the first part of this Mv passage is supported by Pali MN 〔i.167.6—7〕 alaṃ vat' idaṃ kulaputtassa padhānatthikassa padhānāyā ti
prahāṇaṃ pradadhāti (so prob. read for Senartʼs em. pratidadhāti, mss. corrupt) Mv 〔ii.208.1〕
-prahāṇa-jñāna- LV 〔434.9〕
lūhaprahāṇena Mv 〔ii.126.12〕 and in sequel (= rūkṣapradhāna, see the latter)
°ṇa-śālā, hall of religious exercise, concentration, in a monastery, MSV 〔iv.74.4 ff.〕
śaithiliko bāhulikaḥ prahāṇa-vibhraṣṭaḥ (fallen away from religious exertions) LV 〔407.19〕
Mv 〔iii.329.3—4〕 (here text with mss. vikrānto, prob. intending vibhrānto, for vibhraṣṭaḥ, cf. Pali bāhuliko padhānavibbhanto Vin. 〔i.9.1〕 and Jāt. 〔i.68.2〕, in the same incident)
utkuṭuka-pra°, see utku°
in the formula of the four ṛddhipāda, q.v., always -samādhi-prahāṇa-saṃskāra-samanvāgata (Pali samādhi-padhāna-saṃkhāra-samannāgata, e.g. DN 〔ii.213.7〕)
(2) twice I believe prahāṇa (= AMg. pahāṇa) = Skt. pradhāna, the chief thing, at end of Bhvr. cpds. = chiefly consisting of or characterized by: kuhana-lapanaprahāṇaṃ māyā-mātsarya-doṣa-irṣyādyaṃ, (iha te kleśāraṇyaṃ chinnaṃ …) LV 〔372.17〕 (vs), here you have cut down the forest of the impurities, consisting chiefly of kuhana and lapana (qq.v.), including deceit, malice, hatred, jealousy, etc.
tasya tahiṃ āśramapade prativasato kṣama-dama-prahāṇasya Mv 〔ii.221.15〕 (vs), while he was dwelling … characterized by … In both these the Skt. mg. abandonment is manifestly impossible (tho Foucaux tries to adopt it in LV, by flagrant violation of the text), and exertion in the sense of Pali padhāna seems certainly implausible. The word is very common in AMg. in this mg.
note that BHS has usually this AMg.-like form for Pali padhāna.
