Ābhāsa [Sanskrit ābhāsa, from ā + bhās] splendour, light, appearance M III 215.
ābhāsa , m. (in Pali only in the Skt. meaning of light, radiance ; so also in BHS , e.g. Mv i.83.5 ), appearance and hence range, scope , of sense organs: Mv iii.66.4 ff. , where each of the external (bāhirāṇi) āyatanāni ( i.e. the objects of sense) comes into the range of the corresponding internal (ādhyātmikāni) āyatanāni ( i.e. the sense organs or powers), e.g. rūpo ca bāhiraṃ āyatanaṃ cakṣuṣaḥ ābhāsam āgataṃ bhavati. In a similar Pali passage, MN i.190.21 ff. , āpātha takes the place of our ābhāsa. Similarly Mv i.6.3 manuṣyāṇāṃ śrotābhāsam āgacchati, comes within the range of menʼs hearing ; Śikṣ 128.13 cakṣuṣa ābhāsam āgacchanti; [Page099-a] 129.3 santy anābhāsagatāḥ (see anābhāsa ) sattvā ye mama cakṣuṣa ābhāsaṃ nāgacchanti; 151.10 śrotendriyasyābhāsam āgacchanti; Sukh 55.2 cakṣuṣa ābhāsam āgacchati. In same mg. avabhāsa , q.v. 2.
