navayAnasaMprasTita
nava-yāna-saṃprasthita , adj. (also acira-yāna° , q.v. ), newly entered upon the Vehicle , (a Bodhisattva) that is in the early stages of the (mahā-)yāna : SP 32.5 ; 218.5 ; yaḥ kaścid … bodhisattvo 'sya dharmaparyāyasyottraset saṃtraset … navayānasaṃprasthitaḥ sa … bodhisattvo mahāsattvo veditavyaḥ. sacet punaḥ śrāvakayānīyo 'sya ( etc. , as before) adhimānikaḥ sa … śrāvakayānikaḥ pudgalo veditavyaḥ SP 233.13 ff. This last passage is decisive. Kern correctly renders the 2d and 3d passages but mistranslates the first; Burnouf misunderstands all three. Similarly SP 312.8 ; ŚsP 910.11 ; AsP 139.12 et alibi .
