ekotiBAva
ekoti-(°tī-)bhāva , m. (= Pali ekodi°, app. not recorded with ī, which is commoner in BHS tho both are written; etym. and lit. mg. much disputed, see refs. in Lévi Sūtrāl. xiv.14 n. , Renou, JA 1939 p. 393 note 1 , referring esp. to ŚB 12.2.2.4 prāṇā nānā santa ekotayaḥ samānam (so, not °nām!) ūtim anusaṃcaranti; here ūti surely means web , and it is hard to believe with Eggelingʼs transl. (note) that the second part of the cpd. ekoti could mean anything else; cf. the next two items), the becoming concentrated, concentration (of mind, cetasaḥ; seems to mean about the same as Skt. ekāgratā manasaḥ); chiefly in formulaic statement of process leading out of the first dhyāna into the second, found (with slight variants) Mvy 1479 ; LV 129.3 ; 343.17 ; Mv i.228.5 ; ii.131.18 ; 283.8 ; iii.213.9 (here, by a strange confusion of formulas, applies to entrance into first dhyāna); Dbh 34.2 : sa vitarkavicārāṇāṃ ( var. , taking sa as associative prefix, savitarkāṇāṃ savicārāṇāṃ, or the like) vyupaśamād adhyātmasaṃprasādāc cetasa ekotibhāvād (once °vā; ekotī° Mvy ; Mv i.228.5 ; iii.213.9 ; Dbh ; and vv.ll. LV 343.17 ; Mv ii.131.18 ) avitarkam avicāraṃ samādhijaṃ prītisukhaṃ dvitīyaṃ ( Mv iii.213.9 prathamaṃ) dhyānam upasaṃpadya viharati (or other form of this verb); this passage is prose and the var. in quantity cannot be m.c. ; other occurrences, Mvy 1656 ekotībhāvaḥ; Gv 490.15 (prose) sa ekotībhāvagataḥ sarvabuddhadharmeṣu; Gv 305.7 (prose) ekotībhāvagataṃ dharmadhātum avatarāmi.
