dukkhadomanass' ûpay!s!) old age & death (+tribulation, grief, sorrow, distress & despair). The BSk. form
is prat"tya -- samutp!da, e. g. at Divy 300, 547. The Pa&icca -- samupp!da is also called the Nid!na ("basis,"
or "ground," i. e. cause) doctrine, or the Paccay' !k!ra ("related -- condition"), and is referred to in the
Suttas as Ariya -- ñ!ya ("the noble method or system"). The term paccay' !k!ra is late and occurs only in
Abhidhamma -- literature. -- The oldest account is found in the Mah!pad!na Suttanta of the D"gha Nik!ya
(D ii.30 sq.; cp. Dial. ii.24 sq.), where 10 items form the constituents of the chain, and are given in
backward order, reasoning from the appearance of dukkha in this world of old age and death towards the
original cause of it in viññ!*a. The same chain occurs again at S ii.104 sq. -- A later development shows 12
links, viz. avijj! and sankh!r! added to precede viññ!*a (as above). Thus at S ii.5 sq. -- A detailed
exposition of the P. -- s. in Abhidhamma literature is the exegesis given by Bdhgh at Vism xvii. (pp. 517 --
