Anicca – Repeated Arising/Destruction
Post: 1. Anicca has been analyzed in several different ways in the Tipiṭaka. In the Patisambidha Magga Prakarana in the Tipiṭaka, it is explained as,
“uppāda vayattena anicca”,
Could anyone share the link for Patisambidha Magga Prakarana, and where we can find the line “uppāda vayattena anicca”? The internet doesnt seem to have these search results.

You are right. I just did a search and could not find it.
- I wrote that post long ago based on a discourse by Waharaka Thero.
- The verse does make sense. “uppāda vayaṭṭhena aniccā” means “anicca lakkhana is embedded in udaya (arising due to causes and conditions) and vaya (can be stopped from arising by removing causes and conditions) of a sankhata.”
- Here, “vayaṭṭhena” is “vaya aṭṭhena” where “aṭṭhena” means “the reason” or ‘because of”.
- Thus, “uppāda vayaṭṭhena” means “because whatever is arising in this world can be stopped from arising.”
- It is possible that the verse is in another Commentary on the Tipitaka. Also, that post needs re-writing. One more thing added to the “To-Do” list.
