nye ba'i gnas;ཉེ་བའི་གནས་;nearby abodes;nearby abodes;upapīṭha;In the term upapīṭha (nye ba'i gnas), upa (nye ba) is an emphatic term that can mean "close," "secondary," or "higher." I have translated it as "nearby" in an attempt to encompass the sense of both "close" (as in "secondary") and also "next in line" (as in "higher"), as reflected in the following two explanations of the term. In Revealing the Indestructible Vajra Secrets (380), Jamgön Kongtrul says: "Gö Lotsāwa Shönnu Pal states that the meaning of upa (nye ba) is "that which is lesser than what precedes it" [that is, "secondary"] in the same way that the term is used in "continents" (gling, dvīpa) and "subcontinents" (nye ba'i gling, upadvīpa)." Dakpo Tashi Namgyal (Sunrays, 221) remarks that such explanations are poor in that they render the upapīṭhas (nearby abodes) inferior to the pīṭhas (abodes). In which case, when the pīṭhas and upapīṭhas are correlated to the bhūmis, the excellent qualities of the second bhūmi become inferior to those of the first bhūmi. Thus, he says, the meaning of upa (nye ba) becomes corrupted. He states that upa (nye ba) means "higher" (lhag pa) and that generally the abodes are where the warriors and ḍākinīs reside and the nearby abodes are their higher residences. +
