Utpādita (उत्पादित) refers to the “production (of the five supernormal knowledges)”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly: “Then, with conviction, he [i.e., Puṇyālaṃkāra] left ordinary household life behind and became a monk, and thought: ‘[...] giving is constructing, grasping, and possessing what belongs to me, but becoming a monk is giving away all you grasp; giving is not moving away from the view that there is a permanent substance, but becoming a monk is the purification of all views; giving is a practice like child’s play, but becoming a monk is the state of discipline, calmness, and docileness. Having this thought, he who became a monk carefully and vigorously practiced in solitude, and soon he produced (utpādita) the five supernormal knowledges’”.

Utpādita (उत्पादित) refers to “(being) produced”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “That [cosmos] is not at all produced [com.utpādita] by anyone, not at all sustained by anyone, so also not destroyed by anyone. Nevertheless, that exists by itself without support in the atmosphere. That very same one, which is without a beginning and end, is accomplished by itself and imperishable, without a Supreme Being and excessively filled with objects beginning with the self”.

Synonyms: Niṣpādita.
