pratyavasTAna
pratyavasthāna , nt. ( cf. AMg. paccavatthāṇa, ‘clearing of a doubt’ ; M. id. , refutation ), in Mvy 6507 is defined in Tib. and Chin. as ( 1 ) rejection; getting rid of ( Tib. phyir gzhil ba ), or ( 2 ) arrangement, establishment ( Tib. so sor , severally , gzhag pa , arranging ). Both mgs. are supported by forms or derivs. of Skt. praty-ava-sthā-, see pw . The word has been noted elsewhere only in Laṅk , where it usually, and I think always, has the second mg. , establishment (of an intellectual truth or argument): tattva-pra°-kathā 77.7 ; pramāṇatrayāvayava-pra° 92.18 ; pra°-gati-svabhāva-93.11; siddhānta-pra° 172.6 ; svanayapra° 179.12 (°na-kathāṃ cintayan, thinking on a discourse for establishment of his own philosophic method ; here only, Suzuki assumes mg. 1, rejection , but certainly wrongly); also svanaya-pra° 193.12 ; 230.14, 15 ; -jñānādhigamapra° 194.18 .
