lokottara , adj. ( cf. Skt. id. , Pali lokuttara; cf. lokika, laukika ), super-worldly , esp. (but not invariably) said of a Buddha and all his aspects and activities, acc. to the Lokottaravādin school: °rasya Buddhasya Śākyamunino Mv i.48.15 ; °rā(ḥ), said of Buddhas, i.96.12 ; (na hi kiṃcit samyaksaṃbuddhānāṃ lokena samaṃ,) atha khalu sarvam eva maharṣiṇāṃ lokottaraṃ i.159.3 (a summary statement of the doctrine of the L. school); various functions of the Buddha specifically called lok° Mv i.167.17, 18 (see s.v. niṣaṇṇa ); 168.1, 2, 3, 4, 9 ; in Divy 161.25 no creature can comprehend a Buddhaʼs lokottara-cittaṃ, but any creature can understand his laukikaṃ ( q.v. ) cittaṃ (line 23); (Bodhisattvas) budhyanty āśayasaṃyuktā loke lokottare tathā Mv i.86.4 , are enlightened in regard to the world and the supramundane , which I think may mean (in the dogmatic sense) what pertains to the Buddha, tho Senart thinks differently; °raṃ arthaṃ ( supramundane goal ) prārthayamāno Bodhisattvo Mv ii.279.8 ; °rābhiḥ kathābhiḥ Sukh 59.10 , see s.v. lokika ; in Laṅk 156.15 ( cf. 157.9, 11 ) jñāna, and in 237.2—3 ff. pāramitā, are of three kinds, laukika (of worldly persons and heretics), lokottara (of śrāvakas and pratyekabuddhas), and lokottaratama (of Bodhisattvas); here the word can hardly have its technical dogmatic meaning.
