Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
saṃdhi, m., (in several mgs. substantially the same as in Skt.),
(1) joint (= Skt.), as of the body, also connexion between entities, see s.v. visaṃdhi
joint = junction, intermediate point between one bodhisattva-bhūmi and the next, saṃdhi-cittaṃ Mv 〔i.91.5〕, the juncture-frame-of-mind, of a Bodhisattva passing from one bhūmi to the next
bhūmi-saṃdhiṣu 〔97.17〕, prob. in this mg., but the verse is corrupt and obscure
(katamaṃ) saṃdhi-cittaṃ bhavati 〔110.16〕 (in passing from the 4th to the 5th bhūmi, similarly 18, and 〔127.15, 18〕)
paryādānaṃ gacchanti, pātāla-saṃdhigatam iva vāri LV 〔207.14〕, become exhausted like water when it reaches the boundary of the nether world
(2) crease, crack (= Skt.): mānsi (māṃsi) nāsti saṃdhiḥ LV 〔49.22〕 (vs), there is no crack, crease, in her flesh
(3) acc. to Senart, (as in Skt. political science) union, concord, conciliation: sarvakāryeṣu saṃdhi-graha-saṃyojakāś … rājakāryeṣu pada-saṃdhi-viduṣaś ca bhavanti (sc. bodhisattvāḥ) Mv 〔i.133.15〕, ils emploient les moyens dʼunion et de douceur (graha) … ils savent (observer) un langage conciliant (?)
prob. also in the troublesome LV 〔431.11 ff.〕, dīrgharātraṃ piśunavacanaparivarjana-bhedamantrāgrahaṇa-saṃdhisāmagrī-rocana-samagrāṇāṃ cedācittena (q.v.) piśunavacanavigarhaṇa-saṃdhisāmagrī-guṇavarṇaprakāśanaprayogatvāt suśukladanta ity ucyate, where it seems likely that saṃdhi-sāmagrī, the totality of concord (?), is the opposite of piśunavacana and bheda(mantra)
(4) intention (see Senartʼs note 〔ii.537〕): naiṣo kṣurapro saṃdhito (abl., by intention) āhato 'si mayā ajānantena Mv 〔ii.222.17〕 (vs, so mss., meter impossible, but not improved by Senartʼs violent em.)
saṃdhito is also read in mss. in the very similar line 7 above, where saṃdhīto would make the meter perfect and should prob. be read m.c. (rather than Senartʼs em. saṃdahito)
possibly same mg. in LV 〔42.3〕 (vs) saṃdhipralāpam aśubhaṃ na samācariṣye, I shall not commit any evil intentional (?) frivolity of speech
Tib. for the cpd. kyal paḥi (read kaḥi ? = of frivolity of speech) tshig (= words
but perh. read tshigs, joint etc., = saṃdhi? I do not understand the expression)
this meaning is given for Skt. saṃdhā, see pw s.v. 3
(5) = saṃdhā, q.v., esoteric meaning (prob. developed out of prec.): na bhāṣate bhūtapadārtha-saṃdhiṃ SP 〔118.2〕 (vs), he (Buddha) does not declare the real (bhūta) mystic meaning (or intent) of the sense of the words (Tib. ldem dgoṅs, as for saṃdhā)
tasya (sc. of what has been said by Buddhas) saṃdhiṃ vijānatha (impv.) Laṅk 〔283.9〕 (vs)
also in saṃdhi-nirmocana, q.v.
(6) connexion with rebirth, (Suzuki) ‘attachment (to existence)’, in a passage beginning Laṅk 〔160.8 ff.〕 in which Buddha is asked to explain sarvadharma-saṃdhy-arthaparimocanārtham (9) the meaning of attachment (connexion, binding) and of emancipation of all states of being
in (sarvadharmāṇāṃ) saṃdhyasaṃdhi-lakṣaṇaṃ (11), asaṃdhi, non-attachment, replaces parimocana
in 〔162.9 ff.〕 (same passage) sarvabhāvavikalpa-saṃdhi-vivikta-darśanān na saṃdhir nāsaṃdhilakṣaṇaṃ sarvadharmāṇāṃ, nātra kaścin Mahāmate badhyate (sc. by saṃdhi) na ca mucyate (by asaṃdhi), anyatra (on the contrary) vitathapatitayā buddhyā bandhamokṣau prajñāyete … yad uta, sad-asatoḥ saṃdhy-anupalabdhitvāt sarvadharmāṇāṃ. (14) trayaḥ saṃdhayo bālānāṃ pṛthagjanānāṃ, the three attachments of vulgar fools, are (15) rāgo dveṣo mohaś ca, tṛṣṇā ca paunarbhavikī … (16) yāṃ saṃdhāya (being connected with which) gati-saṃdhayaḥ (the attachments to other destinies, see gati) prajāyante. tatra saṃdhi-saṃdhānaṃ (read °nāṃ with v.l.
so implied by Suzuki transl.) (17) sattvānāṃ gatipañcakaṃ (under these circumstances creatures who are attached to the attachments are subject to the five destinies). saṃdher vyucchedān (abl.) … na saṃdhir nāsaṃdhilakṣaṇaṃ prajñāyate (after the cutting off of attachment there is no attachment, nor is any visible sign of detachment perceptible)
here follow the passages 〔163.1 ff.〕, cited s.v. saṃgati 2, in which it appears that saṃdhi, [Page558-a] esp. the three saṃdhayaḥ (above), are, or are correlated with, the three saṃgati, these two words being virtual synonyms in this use
after this, abhūtaparikalpo hi saṃdhi-lakṣaṇam ucyate 〔163.6〕 (vs), for the mark of attachment (binding to rebirth) is false discrimination
badhyante svavikalpena bālāḥ saṃdhy-avipaścitāḥ 〔163.9〕 (vs)
vijñānaṃ pravartate 'nyagati-saṃdhau Laṅk 〔124.11—12〕, the vi° ‘continues to evolve in another path of existence’ (Suzuki, freely but in essence rightly)
anyagati-saṃdhau also 〔140.3〕, and gati-saṃdhau 〔371.8〕.
