AtmaBAvatA
[ ātmabhāvatā , Senart ʼs em. Mv ii.301.11 (prose) sarvatra bodhisattvasya °tām anuprāptāṃ saṃjānanti; should mean embodiment , from ātmabhāva plus -tā. But the occasion is the approach to his enlightenment (not his conception or birth), which is signalized by miracles and cosmic portents. The mss. read °bhāvanām, which is doubtless right: they recognize on all sides that the Bodhisattvaʼs self-realization (ātma-bhāvanā) is at hand .]
