Ṛṣ貹ٲԲ (ऋषिपतन).�(in mss. also °paṭana, °paṭṭana, °pattana, °bhavana), or Ṛṣivadana, nt. or (Lalitavistara) m., name of the deer-park at Benares where Buddha preached his first sermon. On the forms of the name, see Senart, Ѳ屹ٳ i.631; Lévi, JA 1912 (vol. 20), 499 f.; Pali Isipatana; this form supported by widely-known [etymology], Ѳ屹ٳ i.359.17 ṛṣayo 'tra patitā ṛṣpatana�, similarly Lalitavistara 19.3, and in Pali; vadana according to Senart and Lévi Prakritic. Both forms Ѳ屹ܳٱ貹ٳپ 4130 °patanam, Tibetan lhu� ba, fall, and 4131 °vadanam, Tibetan smra ba, speak (Mironov °pattanam for the latter, but he records v.l. °padanam; Tibetan supports °vad°). In Ѳ屹ٳ, mss. usually vary between -vadana and -pattana, Senart always (in these cases) adopting the former: i.43.15 (one ms. °bhavana); 161.4; 174.2; 307.5; 313.16, 19; 323.14, 16 (in 16 -pahana instead of -pattana); 330.4; 331.3; 337.11; iii.330.3, 17. But in i.243.3 Senarts reads bhavanasmi� with mss. (v.l. °nesmi�), and (besides i.359.17 above) in ii.138.2; iii.323.3; 328.20 -patana (only v.l. -pattana in all three); in i.366.8 mss. °paṭṭane, Senart pattano. پ屹Բ has only -vadana, 393.21; 464.16; Բ-śٲ첹 only patana, i.42.9 etc., passim (in i.237.13 the former Buddha Kāśyapa stays there). 󲹰ṇḍī첹 has -patana, once, 69.12; and Lalitavistara app. only -patana, 18.20; 19.3; 264.22; 402.3; 404.17; 407.16; 413.1; 421.16 (v.l. -paṭana 18.20; 19.3); in 407.16 nom. sg. °no (the only form in Lalitavistara unambiguous as to gender).
