VI. 1 94 (do.).
Bamhaniyaat M 1.480 is doubtful in spelling. The meaning
is clearly " furthering growth, making or being
prosperous, bringing luck " (comb'' with ojavant), as
also indicated by v. 1. ru}h°. Thus it cannot belong to
minbh, but must represent either rup, as given under
nippati in meaning " ropana " (Dhtm 837), or rnh (see
ruhati). Kern, Toev. s. v. trsl* " tot groei geschikt "
(i. e. able to grow), Neumann. " erquickend " (i. e.
refreshing).

Definitions. According to P. expositors rupa takes its
designation fr. ruppati, e. g. " ruppanato rupai) " Vism
588; " ruppan' atthena r." VbhA 3; " rupa-rupai) =
ruppana sabh^vena yuttag " Cpd. 156' (where ruppati
is, not quite correctly, given as " change "), " ruppati
ti : tasma rupan ti vuccati "
" rupayati ti rupai) " (with
S 111.86; other def" are
cakkbu & the other 10
ayatanas) VbhA 45; and more scientifically :
" paresu
rup' adisu cakkhu-pafihanana lakkhaijai) rupai) "
Vism 446. — Of modern interpretations & discussions
see e. g. Dhs. trsl. introd. ch. vi. (pp. 41-63, or '48-71)
Dial. 11.244; Expos. 67"; Cpd. 270 sq. (where objections
are raised to trsl" " form," and as better (philosophical)
terms "matter," "material quality" are
recommended). See also loka for similar etym. — B.
(lit.) appearance, form, figure Dhs 597 sq. (=form either
contrasted with what is unseen, or taken for both seen
and unseen), 751 ; Mhvs 27, 30 (sfha-vyagghadirupani
representations of lions, tigers etc.); 30. 68 (ravicanda-tara

of distinction : see also below D ii.a) ; Miln 285 ; Mhvs
20, 4 (rupa-manini proud of her beauty) ; PvA 89.
—surupa very beautiful ThA 72 ; durupa of evil form,

In phrase rupai)
sikkhati Vin i.77 = iv.i29 the meaning is doubtful; it
may be " to study drawing, or arts & craft," or (with
Mrs. Rh. D.) " weights & measures," or (w. Hardy)
" money changing." It is said that through this
occupation the eyes become bad ; it is opposed to ganana.
— C. (-°) of such & such a form, like, kind, of a certain
condition or appearance. In this appl" very frequent
& similar to E. -hood, or Ger. -heit, i. e. an abstract formation.
Often untranslatable because of the latter
character. It is similar to kaya (cp, expl" of aturarupa
Vv 83'* by abhitunna-kaya VvA 328), but not so
much with ref. to life & feeling as to appearance and
looks. E. g. aneka" Sn 1079 (=anekavidha Nd' 54);
adissamana" invisible PvA 6 (lit. with invisible form);
ummatta" as if mad, under the appearance of madness,
like a madman Pv 1.8^ ; 11.6' ; eva'' in such a condition
Pv II. i'; tapassi" appearing to be an ascetic Pv 1.3';
taraka" the (shapes of the) stars Dhs 617; deva" as a
deva PvA 92. Pleonastically e. g. in : anupatta° attaining

(as philos. 1. 1.) principle of (material) form, materiality,
visibility. — There are var. groups of psychological
and metaphysical systematizations, in which rupa
functions as the material, gross factor, by the side of
other, more subtle factors. In all these representations
of rupa we find that an element of moral psychology
overshadows the purely philosophical & speculative
aspect. A detailed (Abhidhammatic) discussion of
rupa in var. aspects is to be found at Dhs § 585-980. —
1. rupa as ayatana or sense object. It is the object of
the activity or sphere of the organ of sight (cakkhu).
As such it heads the list of the 6 bahirani ayatanani
(see e. g. Nd* p. 238 A-E & ayatana') with " cakkhuna
rupar) disva " (the others : sota>sadda, ghana>gandha,
jivha>rasa, kaya>photthabba, mano>dhamma), cp.

2. (metaphysically) as the representative of sensory or
material existence : (a) universally as forming the corporeal
stratum in the world of appearance or form (rupabhava)
as compared with the incorporeal (aiupa-bhava),
being itself above, and yet including the kama-bhava.
(The kamabhava is a subdivision of rupabhava, which
has got raised into a third main division.) This triad
is als^ found in comb°^ with loka or dhatu (see dhatu
2 a & d), or avacara. See e. g. D 1.17 ; 111.215 ("dhatu),
2 16 (°bhava) ; Kvu 370 sq. (°dhatu) ; Dhs 499 (°avacara),
585 ("dhatu); Vbh 17 ("avacara), 25 (as garu-pariqama
a dandha-nirodha comp' with arupa). A similar
sequence rupa arupa & nirodha (i. e. nibbana) in old
verses at Sn 755
^
; It 45, 62 (rupehi arupa santatara.
arflpehi nirodho santataro). On indriya-rupa " faculty
as form " see indriya B. — (b) individually in the sphere
I
of saQsara as one (i. e. the material quality) of the
substrata of sensory individual existence or the khandhas.
They are the 5 : rupa-kkhandha. vedana",
saf&fla", sankhara", vififlaija'' ; otherwise called
fipadana-kkhandha etc. (e. g. D in. 223, 278 ; Vism
rup'
443). ,
See khandha 11. B. — In this property rupa consists of
28 subdivisions, viz. the 4 (great) dhatus (mahabhiitani
or else bhuta-rupa primary matter) and 24 apadftrupani
(i. e. derivative forms or accidentals). These
are given in extenso in the rupakkhandha section of the
Vism (pp. 443-450), also at Dhs 585 ; the 24 consist of
cakkhu, sota, ghana, jivha, kaya, rupa. sadda, gandha.
