smṛty-upasthāna, nt. (= Pali satipaṭṭhāna, which, as Childers says, represents sati-(u)pa° by MIndic saṃdhi), application of mentality, of awareness (applications de mémoire, LaV-P. AbhidhK. 〔vi.153〕
see the foll. pages)
Tib. dran pa (= smṛti) ñe bar bzhag pa (application)
Chin. place or location of smṛti
normally there are
(1) four such (same in Pali): listed Mvy 〔952—956〕 as kāya-, vedanā-, citta-, dharma-(conditions of existence)-smṛ°
so, with full discussion of each item, Śikṣ 〔228.9 ff.〕 (the four terms 〔228.11〕
〔232.6〕
〔233.15〕
〔236.5〕)
the true nature of each term must be carefully reflected on
a fuller terminology, paralleled in Pali (kāyānupassanā- etc.), is kāye kāyānupaśyanā-smṛ° Bbh 〔259.21〕 (cf. 25 evam avaśiṣṭāni smṛ° °nāni)
so, with °nudarśa- (v.l. °nudarśī, n. sg. of °śin, showing confusion with the KP formula, below) instead of °nupaśyanā- Dharmas 〔44〕
a slightly different formula (cf. Pali e.g. DN 〔ii.290.12 ff.〕), kāye kāyānupaśyī viharati na ca kāye kāyānupaśyanāyām ātmyadṛṣṭyāṃ patati KP 〔95.2〕, and similarly with the other three in ff.
these four are listed first among the 37 bodhipākṣika (q.v., or the like) dharma, Dharmas 〔43〕
LV 〔8.5〕
〔181.17〕 (here at end of list of bodhipakṣa-dharma is erroneously added āryasatya, but several mss. correctly omit satya)
〔426.7〕
Divy 〔208.7〕
not in such a list, Śikṣ 〔105.13〕
(2) also three, more exactly āveṇika (q.v.) smṛ° of a Buddha: trīṇy āveṇikāni smṛ° Mvy 〔187〕, listed 〔188—190〕 as śuśrūṣamāṇeṣu (aśuśrū°, śuśrūṣamāṇāśuśrū°) samacittatā, i.e. Buddha is neither elated nor depressed when his audience is responsive, unresponsive, or partly both, cf. Bbh 〔403.10 ff., 15〕
mentioned but not listed Divy 〔182.20〕
Av 〔i.7.5〕
and, without the word āveṇika, tribhiḥ smṛ° Divy 〔126.13〕 (that word is lacking also Bbh 〔403.10 ff.〕)
smṛ° mentioned among āveṇika-buddha-dharma Bbh 〔230.14〕
(3) acc. to AbhidhK. LaV-P. 〔vi.159〕 smṛ° is triple, svabhāva- (en soi
this is defined simply as = prajñā), saṃsarga- (par connexion), and ālambana- (en qualité dʼobjet)
the two latter defined 〔160〕
this distinction I have not noted elsewhere.
