kṣānti , f. (= Pali khanti, used in this sense but not properly defined in Dictt. , see AbhidhK. LaV-P. vi.165, n. 2 , et alibi , see Index; good statement Lévi, Sūtrāl. Transl. p. 123 , cf. text xi.52 and comm. ; Suzuki, Studies in Laṅk. , 125—7 et alibi ), intellectual receptivity; the being ready in advance to accept knowledge ; a preliminary stage leading to jñāna but distinguished from jñāna by the fact that it is still characterized by doubt, AbhidhK. vii.1—2 ; the 8 kṣānti there referred to are paired with 8 corresponding jñāna to make up the 16 citta-kṣaṇāḥ Mvy 1217 ff. , = caturāryasatyeṣu ṣoḍaśa kṣānti-jñānalakṣaṇāḥ Dharmas 96 ; in this list are 8 pairs of jñānakṣānt and jñāna, e.g. , first, duḥkhe dharma-jñānakṣānti, receptivity to knowledge of the truth in respect to misery , then duḥkhe dharmajñāna, du° 'nvayajñānakṣānti, du° 'nvayajñāna; and so with samudaye, nirodhe, and mārge instead of duḥkhe. So anutpattika-dharmakṣānti , q.v. , receptivity to the fact that states-of-being have no origination ; dharmanidhyāna-kṣānti, receptivity to reflection on the states of being , Sūtrāl. xiv.26 comm. , see transl. n. 3 ; similarly, sarvadharmasvabhāvanidhyānakṣāntiḥ Gv 248.4 ; dharmanidhyānādhimukti-kṣāntiḥ Bbh 195.10 ; samyaksaṃtīraṇā-kṣāntiḥ Bbh 81.22 ; avaivartikakṣānti-pratilabdhāś ca bhaviṣyanti SP 259.13 , and will become possessed of the intellectual receptivity of non-returners (see avaivartika ); ānulomikī kṣāntiḥ Mvy 6571 ; Dbh 53.24 ; ānulomika-dharma-kṣānti-dharmālokamukham LV 35.20 ; nāhaṃ … teṣāṃ … ānulomikām api kṣāntiṃ vadāmi, kutaḥ punar buddhajñānam RP 34.13—14 , I do not attribute to them even the intellectual receptivity that conforms (to continued religious development), still less Buddha-knowledge! ; ghoṣānugā kṣānti, see ghoṣānuga ; this with ānulomikī (or equivalent) and anutpattikadharma- (or equivalent) form a triad of kṣānti, Samādh p. 22 1.4 ff. ; Sukh 55.13 (see Régamey , cited s.v. ghoṣānuga); anutpāda- (and °de) kṣāntiḥ, q.v. , and anupalambhadharma-kṣ° RP 12.2 , both = anutpattikadharma-kṣ°; a different triad of kṣānti, Dharmas 107 (dharmanidhyāna-, duḥkhādhivāsanā-, paropakāradha(r)ma-); kṣānti is the 3d of the nirvedha-bhaga , q.v. , Mvy 1214 ( Sūtrāl. xiv.26 , comm. ).
