boDisattva
bodhisattva (= Pali °satta), person destined for enlightenment, Buddha-to-be , passim ; Mvy 625 , followed by list of standard epithets of such persons incl. jinaputra ; other epithets meaning son of Buddha are frequent; there are many lists of names, such as the 92 beginning Mvy 645 ; each name in such lists as occur in works here included is, generally speaking, recorded in this Dict. , but e.g. the list Mmk 8.21 ff. is omitted because it is very corrupt and obscure, even the word-division being often doubtful; eight special B ʼs listed Dharmas 12 , Maitreya, Gaganagañja, Samantabhadra, Vajrapāṇi, Mañjuśrī, Sarvanivaraṇaviṣkambhin, Kṣitigarbha, Khagarbha , qq.v. ; in SP 64.12—13 (sa tvaṃ) Śāriputra bodhisattva-saṃmantritena °ttva-rahasyeneha mama pravacana upapannaḥ, sa tvaṃ … bodhisattvādhiṣṭhānena …, refers to Śāriputraʼs own saṃmantrita ( q.v. ) etc. as a Bodhisattva, not (with Burnouf and Kern ) to the Buddhaʼs (they use the word Bodhisattva in translating, but understand it as referring to the Buddha, which is contrary to usage).
