[1]Rhys Davids footnotes the word in his translation of the Satipatthana Sutta: ½¤ya. Practical Buddhism is summed up (Majjhima I, 181, 197) as exertion in ¾¤ya, dhamma, and kusala (the Method, the Norm, and the Good). ½¤ya is defined at Samyutta V, 388 as what comes pretty much to our method in philosophy. Above (p.167) it is rendered System. There, in a very old verse, the Buddha says that seeking after Good he had been a pilgrim through the realm of System and Law, outside of which no victory can be won.
