niyAma · masculine · niyāma 1
niyāma , also nyāma , q.v. , m. (= Pali and Skt. Gr. niyāma; Skt. niyama), fixed regulation; certainty, unchangeableness : °maḥ Mvy 6501 = Tib. ṅes par ḥgyur ba , what is certain to come to be ; dharma-niyāma-tā Mvy 1714 = Tib. chos mi ḥgyur ba ñid , the doctrineʼs being unchangeably the same ; SP 53.9 ( vs ); Laṅk 143.13 ; cittanagaraniyāma-vidhijñena Gv 431.8 ( fixed, established rules ; text °vidha°, but cf. -vidhijñena line 9); bodhisattvaniyāma Dbh 11.27 (°maṃ jāto, born into the fixed way of Bodhisattvas ); Dbh.g. 54(80).11 ; sattvān niyāmam avakrāmayitum Dbh 63.14 (see Śikṣ , below, and cf. Pali (niyāma)avakkanti, CPD ), to make creatures enter into the fixed course , or unchangeable condition ; yaiś ca … bhikṣubhir anavakrānta-niyāmair etad bhojanaṃ bhuktaṃ teṣām evāvakrāntaniyāmānāṃ pariṇaṃsyati Śikṣ 270.4—5 . See on this and nyāma Wogihara, Lex. 28 ff. There is no doubt that these two words are the same, tho Tib. and Chin. have a different (and fantastic) explanation of nyāma; indeed, acc. to Wogihara , still other interpretations occur in northern Buddhist ( Chin. ) texts. They are certainly negligible. Most of the above passages are prose.
