(text anadhiṣṭhāpada) and 227.4 (text aṣṭāpada); Tib.
thug pa med paḥi gnas. Suzuki transl. inexhaustible vows;
rather, unlimited terms; S. uses the same transl. for
niṣṭhā-pada, q.v. It seems, indeed, that these two
formally opposite expressions, unlimited term and funda-
mental term, are virtual synonyms. Cf. Dbh 17.9, where
each of the 10 niṣṭhā is specifically said to be aniṣṭhā
(the trick seems to lie in different uses of niṣṭhā: the
fundament, basis is said to be without end or limit, end
being also a mg. of niṣṭhā).
