mānatva, nt. (also mānāpya, q.v.
= Pali mānatta), a kind of penance which is superimposed, after parivāsa, on a monk guilty of a saṃghāvaśeṣa offense which he has concealed: Prāt 〔487.11—12〕 bhikṣuṇā … mānatvaṃ (12) caritavyaṃ bhavati, cīrṇa-mānatvo (after he has undergone the m°) bhikṣur …
for mānāpya, Mvy 〔8652—5〕, v.l. mānatva (so Index
ed. mānātva), but Mironov mānāpya without v.l.
Tib. renders Mvy mgu bar bya ba, making glad (Das = ārādhanā)
Chin. respectful behavior
this accords with the Pali comm. (〔629.29〕) on the Vin. passage (〔iii.186.15 f.〕, bhikkhunā … bhikkhu-mānattāya paṭipajjitabbaṃ, ciṇṇamānatto bhikkhu …) corresponding to Prāt 〔487.11—12〕 above
the comm. says, bhikkhu-mānattāyā ti bhikkhūnaṃ mānanabhāvāya, ārādhanatthāyā (cf. Das on Tib. above) ti vuttaṃ hoti
it thus appears that, according to both northern and southern tradition, this penance consisted in, or at least involved, some kind of ceremonial homage paid by the culprit to the general community of monks. This can be interpreted as supporting the apparent etym., māna-tva, condition of (paying) respect.
