sunirmita
Sunirmita , ( 1 ) m. (= Pali Sunimmita, cf. DN i.219.4 ), n. of the chief of the nirmāṇarati (also called nirmita ) gods: LV 44.10 ; 59.6 ; 302.6 ; 362.18 ; 363.19 ; 441.18 ; Mv i.208.13 ; 263.16 ; ii.11.1 ; iii.315.7 ; Divy 140.15 ; Mmk 45.8 ; 69.6 ; Bbh 345.22 (in Mvy Sunirmāṇarati , q.v. ); most occurrences which seem to suggest use in pl. , as of the class of nirmita (= nirmāṇarati) gods, are only apparent, see s.v. Suyāma for a number of cases in Gv , Dbh.g. , and RP . However, I have noted two cases where the pl. seems unquestionable (unless we resort to emendation), and can only mean the class of which (the sg. ) Sunirmita is chief: sunirmitāṃ devaputrāṃ paśyati ca svalaṃkṛtāṃ Mv ii.360.4 ( vs ); and, in a list of classes of gods, … sunirmitā paranirmitā śuddhāvāsā tuṣitā yāmā … Mmk 19.12 (prose). (But in LV 241.2 , for Sunirmiteṣu, read with best ms. Sunirmito sa, supported by Tib. ) Perhaps the fact that nirmita is used of the class, but less regularly than nirmāṇarati, led to occasional confusion with the name of its chieftain: ( 2 ) nt. , n. of a buddhakṣetra: Mv i.123.6 ( vs ); located in the east.
